Florida’s boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine on Friday voted to prohibit certain therapies and medical procedures typically used as so-called treatments of gender dysphoria.

The two boards met in Orlando for a joint public meeting where each voted on the same rules related to minors, banning sex reassignment surgeries or any other surgical procedures that alter primary or secondary sexual characteristics.
