They also can’t be forced to lie or provide false and misleading information as well. The ruling even mentions the American Psychiatric Association calling homosexuality a mental disorder as a case where the AMA was wrong. It could end up being very interesting in how lower courts interpret this in the future in cases blocking trans care bans.
