There will be a hearing on August 5 at 8am at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport Marriot. Be there.

Instead of passing a law or implementing a regulation, they will quietly gut the ability of doctors to treat trans patients by implementing this fake standards of care that will deny the existence of trans people and require conversion therapy.

SEGM and Genspect members have been infiltrating various professional medical orgs to push anti-trans junk science and limit access to gender affirming care. This runs deep and there are several people involved. https://t.co/StG8GBPDuc

This administrative attack on trans people is straight out of the playbook of how coverage for gender affirming care was eliminated in the 80's by a coalition of evangelical groups and TERFs. They were able to eliminate coverage of gender affirming care for 34 years.
