Nick Gibson, Action News JaxJACKSONVILLE, Fla. — With several bills affecting the LGBTQ+ community recently passed in Florida, several transgender individuals are expressing their desire to permanently move out of the state. The impact of these bills has prompted concerns about the protection and rights of transgender individuals.
“Every single one down to the core, it’s stripping freedom away from people,” said Violent Rin, a transgender woman.Violet Rin, who is living in Middleburg, shared her thoughts on the bills that have been passed and their impact on the LGBTQ+ community, specifically transgender individuals. Rin explained that she feels compelled to leave the state due to the restrictions imposed by these bills.
“After a lot of research, I decided New Mexico would be the best place because New Mexico has some of the best transgender protections and queer protections,” Rin stated. Florida lawmakers have recently passed several bills that have garnered strong disapproval from Rin and other members of the LGBTQ+ community., for instance, permits healthcare providers and payors to refuse certain healthcare services based on a patient’s race, color, religion, or national origin. Rin believes that bills like this create significant challenges for the LGBTQ+ community.
