The article discusses a lawsuit filed by Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota against President Trump's executive order, which threatens to cut federal funding for healthcare providers offering gender-affirming care to transgender youth. The lawsuit claims that the order exceeds presidential authority and violates constitutional protections. Supporters have mobilized in response to the executive order, which has already influenced some healthcare providers to restrict access to care. This legal challenge highlights the ongoing struggle for transgender rights in the healthcare system.
The order is a cruel and baseless broadside against transgender youth, their families, and the doctors and medical institutions that provide them this critical care.
The states are asking the court to block the order and to keep the congressionally-allocated funding in place.
