āA federal judge hearing a challenge to a transgender health care ban for minors and restrictions for adults noted Thursday that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly spread false information about doctors mutilating childrenās genitals even though thereās been no such documented cases.
[ā¦]
āWhen Iām analyzing the governorās motivation, what should I make of these statements?ā Hinkle asked. āThis seems to be more than just hyperbole.ā
Hinkle said he will rule sometime in the new year on whether the Legislature, the Department of Health and presidential candidate DeSantis deliberately targeted transgender people through the new law. He raised some skepticism about the stateās motivation as lawyers gave their closing arguments. The trial is challenging Floridaās ban on medical treatment for transgender children, such as hormone therapy or puberty blockers, a law DeSantis touted while seeking the presidency. The law also places restrictions on adult trans care.ā
Of course DeSantis is spreading false information ā also known as lies.
Whatās clear is that DeSantis and his fellow Republicans are motivated by ignorance, fear, bigotry, and hate.
