California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a warning to Children's Hospital Los Angeles regarding its decision to pause gender-affirming care for patients under 19, arguing that this could be a violation of state law. Following an executive order by President Trump targeting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth, the hospital has suspended hormonal therapy and surgeries for minors but claims it is still providing such services to cisgender children. Bonta's letter emphasized that providing care to cisgender patients while denying it to transgender individuals constitutes discrimination and reiterated that Trump's order does not affect the hospital's federal funding.
