For clarity, I'm not saying there isn't good evidence in support of Florida's position, I'm saying it was not what was presented. Some of the doctors had never been involved in trans healthcare and were far outside their specialties, and had the appearance of ideological motivation.

yeah, i get it. maybe the State sensed how the judge would rule, so didnt want to bring its witnesses. ive been a dem my whole life. its not in gop intrest to settle this issue quickly. it would be better for gop if every democrat opponent of desantis went on the record in support of unpopular gender ideology first. thats the kind of thing that could sway votes toward the R side of that ballot with some well placed ads. but certainly courts challenges to gender "care" have been hindered by scarcity of witnesses that are a structural component of this "care". when one side claims kids are helped by, for example, becoming heroin addicts, then its only drs giving black tar and needles to little kids that are the "experts". perhaps higher courts are smart enough to see through the circular argument. the more judges rule in favor of gender affirming care, the more republicans win elections.
