Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota have filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order aimed at reducing Medicare and Medicaid funds for health providers that offer gender transition care to minors. The states argue that this move endangers the well-being of transgender youths and hinders access to critical medical services. They claim the order is discriminatory and violates constitutional rights. With many hospitals reducing or pausing transgender care due to this order, concerns over the implications of such a policy are significant, particularly as it affects the healthcare landscape for young transgender individuals.
This order is part of a larger political effort to strip away civil rights from entire communities.
The states allege that Trump's order violates transgender people's Fifth Amendment rights by singling them out for discrimination.
The title of Trump's executive order - 'Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation' - is false and repugnant.
Most transgender children do not take medication to help with their transition.
