As reported by the advocacy group Truth Wins Out, (CS/HB 1639: Gender and Biological Sex) gives free rein to unethical charlatans to practice gender conversion, a debunked, medically unsound practices that are rejected by every respected medical and mental health association in the world.
On Monday, January 23, 2024, Florida Today reports that the Florida House Select Committee on Health Innovation OK'd legislation (HB 1639) on a 11-4 vote that would require driver's licenses to display the carrier's sex at birth rather than their gender identity.
It would also require all insurances, health benefit plans and health maintenance contracts in the state that cover trans-related health care to also cover detransition care, defined as discontinuing or seeking to reverse gender-affirming medical or surgical interventions.
