A federal judge's ruling against Florida's ban on gender-affirming treatments is a crucial step toward ending discrimination, despite the political rhetoric, writes columnist Leslie Kouba. CLEVELAND, Ohio – Several interesting things happened last week. A “cyber incident” shut down Cleveland City Hall. County leaders were abuzz over the possibility of ending the year with a nearly $16 million deficit. Two separate travelers forgot they had handguns in their carry-on bags.
Hinkle’s temporary injunction of Senate Bill 254 on June 6, after three families requested immediate relief, provided time for judicial review, and the public record was clear. Florida lawmakers had voiced their moral objection to and religious judgment of transgender people, young and old, as they promoted SB 254, before the Florida Senate and House passed it and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it last May.
Oh my. Did he just throw Floridians under the bus? According to him, they’re the ones who took action to make an unconstitutional law. Poor DeSantis, he was just doing what the people wanted. He was just an innocent channel for the will of all Floridians. Ha! It’s keenly interesting that both sides of this issue and others, see opponents, aka “them” in the us-them mindset, as operating out of a wish to do evil to the “us” part of the paradigm. The language of those opposed to anyone and anything LGBTQ+ is aggressive and emotional. Words like mutilation, abuse and experimentation riddle some news accounts of Hinkle’s decision.This is all from the same sources that say there is no such thing as a transgender person, that they don’t exist.
