Cynthia Nixon Highlights Family's Trans Identities at NYC Protest

Actress Cynthia Nixon faced backlash after claiming at a protest in New York City that many children in her circle are transgender. Nixon participated in the Pro-Trans Children demonstration against NYU Langone Health, which recently canceled appointments for minors seeking puberty blockers, following a controversial executive order from President Trump. During her speech, Nixon emphasized her personal connections to the trans community, stating, 'I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man.' She criticized the hospital's decision, noting that it undermines care options for young people and lamenting the loss of services from a hospital historically recognized for its support of transgender healthcare. NYU has been acknowledged as an LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader for the past ten years, making the cancellations particularly shocking to advocates. Nixon's remarks have sparked a mixed response online, with some supporting her stance while others criticized her claims about the prevalence of trans children in her community.
