Doe v. Ladapo — Amicus Brief

ddavies Constitutional Law, U. S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit

The district court invalidated a Florida statute designed to protect minors from the current fad of transgenderism, for violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Our amicus brief rejected the district court’s assumption that a law based on transgender status was equivalent to racism.   We also showed that the district court erroneously relied on medical “standards” recommended by an transgender advocacy group — the “World Professional Association for Transgender Health” (“WPATH”).   We also defended numerous state legislators’ right to reference our Creator God, which the district court said demonstrated animus.
