California Attorney General Rob Bonta reiterated the state's legal obligation for hospitals and clinics to provide gender-affirming medical care to transgender patients, despite President Trump's executive order which seeks to withdraw funding from facilities offering such services to minors. Bonta argued that California's laws and a recent judicial ruling protect the rights of transgender youths and maintain that hospitals must ensure equal healthcare availability. The order has led to confusion in the medical community, as exemplified by the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles pausing its program amidst the legal and political turmoil.
