New York State Attorney General Letitia James has warned hospitals that complying with President Trump's executive order on sex-change procedures for minors could lead to discrimination charges. She argues such compliance would violate New York law by denying transgender individuals necessary services. However, the article contends that Trump's order specifically targets age restrictions for treatment and claims James lacks credibility in threatening hospitals, potentially endangering their federal funding. Overall, the article supports Trump’s move to halt procedures for minors, suggesting it protects them from making irreversible decisions too early.
Hospitals that defy Trump's order risk losing billions in federal funds - which would mean higher medical costs for all who use them.
Withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, is discrimination under New York law.
James claimed Monday that hospitals can't comply without breaking New York law, huffing: 'Withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria...'
Trump is entirely right to halt these dangerous procedures, which will affect kids for the rest of their lives.
