Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed into law a bill that bans gender-affirming treatment such as puberty blockers or hormone therapy for transgender youth, and also enacts obstacles for adults to access this same treatment.

Such bills were once mostly limited to regulating changing rooms and women's sports, but have expanded to limiting healthcare access even for transgender adults. In some cases, legislation has sought to charge parents and doctors with child abuse if they provide treatment to transgender youth.

"This will permanently outlaw the mutilation of minors," DeSantis said at a bill-signing ceremony in Tampa.

"I mean they're trying to do sex change operations on minors, giving them puberty blockers and doing things that are irreversible to them," the Republican governor said. "We think this is very wrong."
