Medical textbook strips gender dysphoria definition after being cited by Florida
The world’s bestselling medical textbook removed the definition of gender dysphoria from its website after the Florida Department of Health cited it in recent guidance advising against gender transitions for children and adolescents, according to an email obtained by Fox News Digital.
Remove a medical definition? Why would they do that?
The email from Melissa Adams, who is Merck Manuals’ director of marketing and brand awareness, also asked the Florida Department of Health to adjust their guidance based on the update in the manual…

Ladapo’s office told Fox News Digital that they are not planning on changing their guidance at this time.
