Overview
New York Attorney General Letitia James has reiterated that healthcare providers must offer gender-affirming care to minors, following President Trump's executive order aimed at restricting federal funding for such services. In her letter, James emphasized New York's anti-discrimination laws which mandate continued care, regardless of federal actions. This response comes as several hospitals nationwide reevaluate their gender-affirming treatments amidst fear of funding cuts. A recent court ruling temporarily blocks Trump's federal funding freeze, underscoring the ongoing legal battle around transgender healthcare access. Activists continue to vocally oppose these restrictive measures, advocating for accessible care.
