Florida’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its effort to force the Sunshine State to fund “gender transition” surgeries for children, which violates state laws.

The complaint, filed May 6 with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, claims that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is “threatening the livelihoods” of physicians who “refuse to provide experimental, sterilizing, ‘gender-change’ interventions” for people “suffering from psychological distress,” including minors.
