On Monday, March 13th at 3:30 pm EST/2:30 pm CT the Florida Senate Health Policy committee will meet to vote on SB 254 in its first of two committees before it hits the Senate Floor. This dangerous bill:
1) criminalizes gender affirming care for trans+ youth and adults (3rd degree felony for healthcare professionals who violate provisions laid out about children and 1st degree misdemeanor for provisions about adult trans+ care),
2) sets up a safe haven in Florida for criminals who kidnap their children and take them away from affirming families,
3) redefines sex prescriptions and procedures in a way that denies transgender existence and excludes affirming care for trans+ people in Florida,
4) changes the definition of sex to deny that trans folx exist through the following language - sex is defined as “classification of a person as either male or female based on the organization of the human body of the person for a specific reproductive role, as indicated by the person’s sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and external and internal genitalia present at birth”
