A Florida federal district court judge on Tuesday denied a motion to temporarily block a portion of a state law allowing the enforcement of a ban on transgender treatments for adults while a legal challenge plays out.

The lawsuit centers on a constitutional challenge to a Florida law, Senate Bill 254, that restricts minors’ access to transgender surgeries and hormone treatments, which are typically referred to under the umbrella of “gender-affirming care.”
