Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he would sign legislation that would ban transgender procedures for minors, coming days after he signed a bill that prohibits biologically male athletes from competing in women’s sports.

“I’m very much opposed to chemical castration of minors, I honestly didn’t know this existed until a few years ago,” DeSantis said in an interview with the Daily Caller. “That would be something I would sign for sure,” he said.
