Children's Hospital Los Angeles has reversed its temporary halt on initiating hormonal therapy for transgender youth under 19. The pause had previously been instated in response to President Trump's executive order regarding gender-affirming care. However, following assurances from California Attorney General Rob Bonta and recent supportive federal judicial rulings, the hospital resumed the treatments. CHLA had also previously paused gender-affirming surgeries for minors, but no announcement has been made regarding their resumption. The situation sparked significant protests outside the hospital before the decision was made to lift the restrictions.
Children's Hospital L.A. is reversing its previous decision to pause hormonal therapy for transgender youth due to commitments for patient protections from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta.
