“The clinical approach must be attentive to the risks of an inappropriate gender transition and the difficulties that the child may experience to return to the gender of birth upon entering puberty,” the report states. The Florida Joint Medical Board will finalize voting next week.

According to journalist Abigail Shrier, quoted by National Review

, nearly three children’s rooms no longer have symptoms of gender dysphoria in adolescence. Florida’s decision comes after the UK closed its only gender-transition pediatric clinic, the Tavistock Center.

Jay Richards, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Life, Religion and Family, compares the British scenario to the American one, in an interview withThe Daily Signal

And the UK National Health Service is now admitting the obvious: that many children suddenly identifying as transgender are likely going through a phase and should not undergo chemical and surgical sterilization,” Richards argues.
