Legislation in Florida progresses to mandate all residents to indicate their biological sex on driver's licenses. Therapists in Utah express concerns for transgender individuals following recent laws and comments by Governor Cox.

I report in today’s @NYPost: A major new study out of Finland refutes the common claim, made by groups such as @ACLU, @AmerAcadPeds and @AmerMedicalAssn, that gender-transition treatment for young people is “life saving.” This study found no such evidence. https://t.co/pQDY5UQzxv https://t.co/RQBRQmQju1 https://t.co/EU6N3j2zMp
