Fifteen Democratic state attorneys general have publicly committed to protecting gender-affirming care despite an executive order issued by Donald Trump. They asserted that healthcare decisions should remain with patients and healthcare providers, not politicians. The attorneys general emphasized that gender-affirming care is essential and legally supported, rejecting the Trump administration's claims connecting it with 'female genital mutilation.' A recent federal court win allowed the resumption of federal funding for gender-affirming care, reinforcing the continued legal support for transgender health services amidst opposing executive actions.
As state attorneys general, we stand firmly in support of health care policies that respect the dignity and rights of all people. Health care decisions should be made by patients, families, and doctors, not by a politician trying to use his power to restrict your freedoms.
The Trump Administration's recent Executive Order is wrong on the science and the law. Despite what the Trump Administration has suggested, there is no connection between 'female genital mutilation' and gender-affirming care.
