#gender-affirming-care

I would just like to point out that I think it's very interesting that my colleague from South Carolina is so obsessed with the issue of trans people, using horrible slurs to talk about them when many people in this body have received gender-affirming care. Filler is gender-affirming care, boob jobs is gender affirming, botox is gender-affirming care. Lots of my colleagues have received gender-affirming care, and let me be clear,

"President Trump has illegally overstepped his authority by abruptly cutting off necessary medical care for military families,"

"The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, is one of multiple institutions across the country that has received a federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation into gender-affirming care for minors," the system said in a statement to Talking Points Memo. "In light of that investigation, and given escalating external threats and risks, we will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors."

The latest character to enter the revolving door of President Donald Trump's federal staff is a well-known antagonist of transgender Americans. Andrew Bailey, former Missouri attorney general, has been appointed a co-deputy director of the FBI. The current official in the role, Dan Bongino, came under fire for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case, triggering rumors about his potential future-or lack thereof-at the bureau. This comes as legal attacks on gender-affirming care for trans people heat up at the Department of Justice.

with all the things that are coming at all of us, for us to be able to go on offense and not be on defense is what I love about this state. The state of Illinois, today I am announcing, is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ individuals across the state. And Illinois is proud to announce it, Building upon the state's transgender and gender-diverse wellness and equity project that we launched at the beginning of 2024, we will be the only state, the only state in the entire United States, that provides free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ community.

The act will prevent sensitive data, including the practising doctor's name, from being disclosed. The law will prohibit Massachusetts-based authorities from working with federal and out-of-state healthcare investigations, including abortions.

"It's not some abstract issue. This is about whether I get to live my life." After transitioning, everything shifted. My daughter found hope, felt joy, and had the energy to connect with new friends.

Act 63-2025, signed by Puerto Rico Governor Jenniffer González Colón, criminalizes gender-affirming care for those under 21, imposing prison time and hefty fines.

In 2025, while 120 anti-trans bills have passed concerning gender-affirming care, education, legal recognition, and public existence, 647 bills targeting the trans community have failed.

The Supreme Court has allowed states to determine the availability of gender-affirming care for minors, with the potential for state legislators to overrule parental decisions.

UCSF may become one of the last places in California to provide gender-affirming surgeries for teenagers, following Stanford's suspension and closures of other facilities.

Stanford Medicine has paused gender-related surgical procedures for patients under 19, citing evolving federal guidance. This decision comes amid heightened scrutiny of trans health care for youth.

Today the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America. Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is heartless.

The decision left Meredithe McNamara, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine who specializes in adolescent medicine, devastated and scared.
