"Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program,"
"They're just completely abandoning trans youth and it's disgusting and it's dangerous,"
"These kids need care."
"This care is supported by nearly every major medical association in the country. American families are really hurting right now. I'm being contacted by parents of trans youth who are devastated and don't know where to turn."
NYU Langone Health announced it will discontinue its Transgender Youth Health Program and will no longer provide gender-affirming services to minors. The decision followed a coordinated campaign by the Trump administration to end gender-affirming care for youth, including threats to withhold federal funding for hospitals that offer puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery. NYU Langone cited the recent departure of its medical director and the current regulatory environment in a statement explaining the program closure. The announcement left trans youth seeking new providers and prompted distress among families, advocates, and community groups who emphasize medical association support for the care.
