On Transgender Day of Visibility, hundreds protested at NYU Langone Hospital against its compliance with President Trump’s executive order prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors. Despite heavy rain, demonstrators, including actress Cynthia Nixon, voiced their discontent by delivering approximately 10,000 complaint letters to the staff. Nixon urged hospitals to uphold trans youth rights, stating that they should not yield to unjust policies. The event highlighted solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community, with the protesters affirming their determination to protect rights amidst adverse conditions.
Do not obey in advance, and this is a very important thing for us to remember when it comes to trans rights, and when it comes to immigrant rights, and when it comes to abortion rights, and any number of hundreds of other things that I could name, Nixon said.
Even as the skies opened up and unleashed a deluge of rain, demonstrators continued to gather with an umbrella in one hand and a protest sign in the other.
