Anti-Trans Policy Deserves Same Scrutiny as Trump's Tylenol Disinformation

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump and his celebrity health ministers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz held a press conference to announce an evidence-free claim that pregnant women taking acetaminophen causes autism in children.

Trump's Justice Department indicts LGBTQ+ rights lawyer in judge-shopping inquiry

The indictment, unsealed Monday in U.S, District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, arose from an inquiry into whether lawyers were "judge-shopping" - looking for sympathetic judges - in a case challenging Alabama's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. On May 20, 2022, three federal judges in Alabama questioned Charles, asking if he had called any judge's chambers about the assignment of the case, according to the indictment. Charles said he had not. But he "later amended his answers to state he actually called a judge's clerk," Reuters reports. "He apologized for his earlier response."

Rather than stand up to those threats and risk losing federal funding, these hospitals have chosen to abandon their transgender patients - an act many parents describe as outright capitulation, and one that likely violates state nondiscrimination laws.
