A federal judge has issued a nationwide injunction against President Trump's executive orders affecting transgender healthcare for young people, allowing hospitals to provide necessary treatment. This ruling follows a similar decision in the Northwest and was made on constitutional grounds, asserting that the orders overstepped presidential authority and conflicted with anti-discrimination laws. Advocates view this as a significant win for transgender rights amidst pending appeals from the administration, reaffirming the importance of equal treatment in healthcare access for transgender youth.
The challenged provisions of the Executive Orders place significant conditions on federal funding that Congress did not prescribe. This, the Constitution simply does not allow.
Transgender young people, their parents and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups PFLAG and GLMA last month sued to roll back a pair of Trump orders to officially recognize only male and female sexes.
