    So how is this law enforceable? Isn’t the gender marker change through the state itself? I obviously assume they’re going to stop providing the changes, but what about people who have already had it changed? Or is this meant to punish trans people from other states traveling to Florida?

    Inevitably a cisgender woman who does not meet enforced standards of femininity will get arrested for this. Or trans men who have not changed their gender marker. Violence against queer people and cis women is the intention.

      I can absolutely see someone with androgen insensitivity syndrome (female with XY chromosomes) getting thrown in jail for this.
