A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from cutting federal funding for hospitals providing gender-transition treatments to individuals under 19. This ruling follows a lawsuit filed by six transgender youths and advocacy groups, challenging executive orders that threaten their medical access. This decision adds another layer of legal complications for the administration's efforts to roll back protections and funding for transgender healthcare, aligning with a previous ruling that blocked a directive affecting federal prisoners.
The temporary restraining order issued by Judge Hurson blocks the Trump administration from restricting federal funding for gender-transition treatments for patients under 19.
Judge Hurson's ruling is a significant setback for the Trump administration's efforts to limit government recognition of transgender identities and medical supports.
