A federal judge in Seattle has issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s attempt to withdraw federal funding from institutions providing gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This ruling follows a lawsuit by the Democratic attorneys general of Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota. Trump’s executive orders aimed to strip funding from programs promoting gender ideology and halt grants for gender-affirming treatment. The injunction maintains access to crucial medical care while the case proceeds. However, some concerns remain regarding implications of possible legal action against medical professionals related to gender-affirming procedures.
U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King previously granted a two-week restraining order after the Democratic attorneys general of Washington, Oregon and Minnesota sued the Trump administration.
Two of Trump's executive orders are at issue in the case, calling for stripping federal money from programs that 'promote gender ideology' and cutting off grants for institutions providing gender-affirming care.
