New York AG Orders Hospitals to Maintain Transgender Care Amid Trump's Funding Restrictions

News summary

New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued a warning to hospitals, stating that discontinuing gender-affirming care for minors would violate state anti-discrimination laws, despite President Donald Trump's recent executive order aimed at restricting federal funding for such treatments. In her letter, James emphasized that hospitals must comply with New York law regardless of federal directives, which include controversial language describing gender-affirming procedures as 'mutilation.' Following Trump's order, several hospitals in states like Colorado and Virginia announced a pause on these services while they assess the legal implications of the order. The White House acknowledged that the executive order is having its intended effect. Gender-affirming care for transgender youth remains a contentious issue, with a recent study indicating that fewer than 1 in 1,000 adolescents with commercial insurance received puberty blockers or hormones over a five-year period. The Greater New York Hospital Association is currently reviewing the order's implications for healthcare providers in the state.
