Cynthia Nixon Leads Protest Against NYU-Langone's Cancellation of Transgender Treatments

Cynthia Nixon, the actress known for her role in 'Sex and the City', passionately protested in New York City against NYU Langone Health's recent decision to cancel appointments for transgender minors seeking puberty blockers. The cancellations reportedly stemmed from an executive order signed by President Trump, threatening federal funding for hospitals providing gender-affirming care. At the rally, Nixon expressed her deep dismay, stating, 'It sickens me to my core' as she highlighted the impact on young trans individuals. She shared her personal connections to the trans community, referencing her trans son and other relatives, emphasizing the importance of supporting transgender youth. Nixon criticized the ongoing 'assault' on trans rights since Trump's election and praised the demonstrators for their support. This protest reflects a broader concern among families regarding access to essential medical care for transgender youth.
