Florida judge says Ron DeSantis spread false information on trans healthcare and says there's no 'rational basis' to ban gender-affirming care

• Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has passed several anti-trans laws this year.
• One law that is being challenged in federal court banned gender-affirming care for minors.
• A judge wrote that the ban could cause "irreparable harm" to children.

A federal judge hearing a challenge to a transgender healthcare ban for minors and restrictions for adults noted Thursday that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly spread false information about doctors mutilating children's genitals even though there have been no such documented cases.
