“As much as 40% of trans youth between the ages of 13-17, or roughly 100,000 patients, now live in states restricting gender affirming care, including 6 states where providers face felony charges just for treating trans kids with the same puberty blockers still handed out to cis girls suffering from their own version of precocious puberty. This is being done in spite or perhaps even because of the fact that this treatment has been proven repeatedly to reduce suicidality among trans youth exponentially. Trump has joined in on this anti-scientific campaign of medical apartheid with an executive order broadly declaring any form of medical care for minors suffering from gender dysphoria to be abuse and prohibiting federal funding to any institution providing this care, leading at least seven clinics to shutter their youth services in states where they are still fully legal.” (06/22/25)
