A federal judge blocked most of a law championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) that strictly limited transgender health care for adults and banned it completely for children.

In his decision, U.S. District Judge Robert L. Hinkle rejected a common mantra of the DeSantis administration, saying that “gender identity is real,” and that the state cannot deny transgender individuals treatment.

“Florida has adopted a statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically appropriate,” Hinkle wrote. “The ban is unconstitutional.”

even if Biden doesn't do anything, there is a real possibility that if the other guy becomes president two old farts retire just before they die and let him appoint two more young demons to serve a lifetime.

hell, they don't even pretend to give a shit about democracy anyway, I'm not even sure they won't kill one of the liberal justices.
