The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled to allow Florida to implement its ban on transgender medical operations for children Monday, lifting a lower court’s injunction that had temporarily blocked the enforcement of the ban while the case is under appeal.

In June, a court ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle for the Northern District of Florida blocked the state’s law, stating that “gender identity is real” and that “cross sex hormones” is part of “proper treatment” for minors choosing to identify with a gender not matching his/her biology.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration appealed the June ruling. Monday’s ruling temporarily revived the Florida law that bars minors from receiving prescriptions for puberty blockers and hormone treatments.

Monday’s ruling stated that the court believes the defendants have made a “strong showing that they are likely to succeed on the merits.”
