Axios - The Trump administration's push to end gender-affirming care for transgender youth is having a chilling effect on health systems, prompting some to pull back on the services in states where they remain legal.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Stanford Medicine and Pittsburgh's UPMC are among the facilities pausing or shutting down services following federal probes and concerns that funding could be at risk.
- That's despite a judge temporarily halting President Trump's executive order that would strip federal funding from hospitals providing gender-affirming medical services to minors.
... The Federal Trade Commission will hold a public workshop today to "gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing" surrounding gender-affirming care for minors.
It's the latest in a string of Trump administration actions that show the federal government isn't backing down from its goal to stop surgeries, hormone treatments and puberty blockers for youth with gender dysphoria. More
