The executive order signed by President Trump restricts federal funding for gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors, which is detrimental to their health and safety. This policy perpetuates lies about transgender care and further marginalizes the LGBTQ+ community. Critically, Trump's approach is seen as an attack on healthcare that involves misinformation contrary to expert consensus on the necessity of gender-affirming treatments. As the ACLU prepares to challenge this order in court, it reflects growing tension over healthcare rights for transgender youths amidst increased political attacks.
"Among most providers and professional associations, there is consensus that research and outcomes have proven gender-affirming care to be necessary and lifesaving for transgender youth."
"Trump's latest action continues his targeting of the LGBTQ+ community... he's on a tear to consistently marginalize an already vulnerable population."
