A lower court had ruled that the law should be permanently blocked, but this decision reverses that.
The state had asked Judge Robert Hinkle to put his June ruling against the restrictions on hold, but he said no.
The state had banned the care for minors and restricted it for adults.
Judge Robert Hinkle trashed the rationale behind Florida's ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors.
"Gender identity is real," Judge Robert Hinkle wrote in finding the ban violated federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
