'The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear,' Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed.
ABC News' Gio Benitez sat down with six Transgender teenagers and young adults to show they're just like anyone else.Saying gender identity is real, a federal judge temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, ruling Tuesday that the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.
"The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear," Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed. Hinkle said people who mistakenly believe gender identity is a choice also "tend to disapprove all things transgender and so oppose medical care that supports a person's transgender existence."Research suggests that transgender youth and adults are prone to stress, depression and suicidal thoughts, and the evidence is mixed on whether treatment with hormones or surgery resolves those issues.
"There are risks attendant to not using these treatments, including the risk - in some instances, the near certainty - of anxiety and depression and even suicidal ideation. The challenged statute ignores the benefits that many patients realize from these treatments and the substantial risk posed by foregoing the treatments," Hinkle said.
