On the 28th of October, the Florida Board of Health met at Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport to finalize rules prohibiting doctors from providing gender-affirming care for trans youth under 18 except as part of a University-run experiment. Trans youth and their supporters were told to “stop shouting” and take this assault in Q&A before the Board voted to toss them under an Evangelical bus.

A proposal to create a registry of all known transgender FL residents was dropped as out of scope of the Board of Health. Trans youth and their supporters were told to “stop shouting” and take this assault in Q&A before the Board voted to toss them under an Evangelical bus. Persumably for intimidation, bike cops rode their bicycles inside the building and into the space where the meeting was held.

This was a supposely public meeting held on private property, and on airport property to boot. In Florida, police have a record of making “trespassing” arrests when things happen they don’t like or people they don’t like show up at these meetings
