A federal judge sided Tuesday with families who sued over Florida’s ban on gender transition procedures for minors, declaring that “gender identity is real.”
A group of families, backed by several LGBT activist groups, sued Florida in March shortly after the rule restricting minors from accessing surgical sex change procedures, puberty blockers and hormone therapy took effect. Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction against the law to prohibit it from being enforced against the plaintiffs, arguing that the “great weight of medical authority supports these treatments.”
Hinkle repeatedly stressed the reality of “gender identity” in his ruling.
“With extraordinarily rare exceptions not at issue here, every person is born with external sex characteristics, male or female, and chromosomes that match,” he wrote. “As the person goes through life, the person also has a gender identity—a deeply felt internal sense of being male or female...”

Appointed by BillyBob....’nuff said.
Someone is apparently incapable of “following the science”.
Judge affirming Mental Illness is real.......................
people say “ be yourself” let kids do what they want..... thats all good and fine until the burning sulpher
and brimstone starts falling.
A liberal in 2021: I identify as a male.
Same liberal in 2022: I now identify as a female.
Same liberal in 2023: I now may be both or a 3rd gender.
Liberals across America say: Gender identity is real, whatever that liberal believed at the time was reality, and all should now believe in and have believed in what they believed to be true.
fed judge swerves way out of his lane
gender dysphoria is real
a real mental illness
the prescribed treatment is treatment of the mind
not the body
In other words he ruled that mental illness is perfectly normal.
Upside down world...
How about Northern District of Florida Judge Robert L. Hinkle LEAD BY EXAMPLE and have Sex Reassignment Surgery and suck down lots of female hormones?
Come on Judge, if you believe your ruling, then have a cutadickoffofme surgery!!! Damn Coward in a Black Robe!!!
Or rather, if you agree they should mutilate their bodies you support Sterilization-affirming “care”.
The judge finds the facts troublesome to his subjective world view.
I am betting this Judge Hinkle has a few Trans kids in his own family and has chosen to bow before all their strange demands. Such Judges may find it difficult to remain impartial when rendering judgement on such cases.
“Someone is apparently incapable of “following the science”.”
Yes, I do know what you mean, but the phrase is only used by people who are NOT following the science. They are instead following the politics. Another common phrase is “settled science.” Nothing in real science is ever settled if someone comes up with a different theory and it is provable. Settled means they want you to do whatever it is they want you to do. One more phrase is “nobody wants to,” because whatever they say next is exactly what they want to do. Examples are, “nobody wants to seize your guns,” and “nobody wants to take away someone’s right to serve or not serve a customer.”
And to be pandered to!
I am a medically diagnosed alcoholic.
I demand free scotch and an end to the oppression of arresting me if I am driving in my state of bliss...
You should get free UBER/LYFT/YELLOW CAB for the rest of your life.................
I absolutely do not understand for even one single second how this kind of thing can be allowed on a minor.
They are not allowed to enter into contracts, except in the rare cases of a emancipated, minor, and from what I understand, that only encompasses 17 year olds, or maybe even 16 year olds at the earliest.
I see this kind of thing as a major camel nose in the tent for something. And whatever that something is, it isn’t good in any way, shape, or form.
No mention of a family in his bio. Bow -tie .
Another feral judge advances the “cause”.
“...a deeply felt internal sense of being male or female.”
I can safely say that my knowledge of my gender identity is not based on an internal sense or feeling. I KNOW I am a woman because I was born one and have the lady bits to prove it.
Nor have I “wanted” to be something else because basic logic informed me that it is unpossible to be a man any more than I could be a horse or a tiger.
So tired of the crazy being promulgated as normal.
I’m almost thinking we should stop KEEPING the kids from transgendering ... AS LONG AS I DON”T HAVE TO PAY for the INITIAL or REVERSAL SURGERY. If they want to mutilate themselves for life, it is sort of a good “see-how-stupid-you-were” punishment. Let them do it, but don’t ask for our sympathy later or our money to correct THEIR stupid mistake.
