“People moved to NYC because of its shield law for trans kids. These hospitals have completely left them behind and shirked responsibility. They have not even been told whether they can receive continuity of care.” Eliel Cruz, a co-founder of Gender Liberation Movement

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

Do note that the NYT push alert tonight is not six *new* hospitals ending gender-affirming medical care for minors. It is the cumulative six since mid-May, the most recent two of which DOJ announced — and I covered at Law Dork — last Friday.

As Trump loses ground and lashes out, some remain willing to capitulate when it comes to anti-trans hate
More alarming settlements from medical providers in states that have laws aimed at stopping anti-trans discrimination. On Friday, it was NYU Langone and UPMC.

Do people realize how insane this is? The DOJ can just stop a hospital from providing medical care just through threats? You know what's next after they're done with gender affirming care? "First they came for trans people and we did nothing oops lol"
