On a chilly evening, protesters rallied at St. Vartan Park in Manhattan against NYU Langone Health, which had cancelled appointments for trans children seeking gender-affirming care. This action followed a controversial executive order issued by Donald Trump, which was legally contested. Attendees held signs supporting trans rights and expressed disappointment in the hospital's response, given their claim of being a leader in healthcare equity. A temporary restraining order was later issued, stopping the enforcement of the ban and allowing some hospitals to resume care.
"It was crowded enough that some people had to stand atop the play structure in the back of the park. Speakers addressed the group, urging them not to give up the fight for trans rights."
"The hospital has not put out a statement explaining the decision. Since the protest, a judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the enforcement of the ban."
