A Florida mother tearfully testified that her family could be torn apart if the state’s ban on trans health care for children is allowed to take effect
The mother of a transgender girl sobbed in federal court Wednesday as she contemplated having to move away from her Navy officer husband to get health care for her 12-year-old if Florida’s ban on gender dysphoria treatments for minors is allowed to take affect.
The woman, who testified as Jane Doe to protect the identity of her child, said her daughter went from being anxious and upset to a thriving, happy straight-A student after being allowed to live as a girl about eight years ago, a decision she made with her husband after multiple visits to their family’s doctor.
But as the girl approaches puberty, she fears she will start turning into a boy. Without treatment, she and her family will be devasted, the mother said.
“I will go to the end of the Earth to get my daughter the help she needs,” the woman testified through sobs as she pulled facial tissues from a box. “I think about, will our family get torn apart? Will we have to live somewhere else away from my husband?"
I hope the Navy will transfer the father to a better state.
I wonder if it’s easier or difficult to just transfer to the pacific fleet. I think they each habe their own command structure but could be wrong. If he can transfer to pacific that should resolve at least this one issue. As for Florida, cruelty is the point and its own reward for republicans
I have run into navy people on army, air force, and Intel groups. So they could assign him to a land post as well.
