New York State Attorney General Letitia James has clarified that health care providers must offer gender-affirming care to transgender minors, emphasizing that failure to do so violates antidiscrimination laws. This statement comes in light of Donald Trump's recent executive order targeting puberty blockers and hormone therapies for minors. The order asserts these treatments as 'chemical and surgical mutilation' and calls for the Department of Health and Human Services to revise medical guidelines. The impact is already notable, as seen with NYU Langone canceling appointments for young transgender patients.
"Failing to provide gender-affirming care to transgender minors violates New York antidiscrimination law," stated New York Attorney General Letitia James in an open letter addressing health care providers.
NYU Langone, a New York City hospital, has recently canceled some appointments for young transgender patients seeking gender-affirming treatment following the new executive order by Trump.
