California, other states pursue Trump about the order threatening the healthcare providers affirmed by the sexes

California and a coalition of other States led by Liberals continued the Trump administration on Friday to end the care for transgender, children and young non -binary and non -binary adults – calling them an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ +patients, health care providers and states rights.

The trial was brought by California Atty. General ROB BONTA and civil servants of 15 other states and from the Columbia district. He questions an executive decree of January 28 by President Trump who denounced the care asserted by the sexes as a “mutilation” and called on the US officials of the Ministry of Justice to effectively respect a ban, in particular by launching surveys on health care providers.

The trial notes that the Ministry of Justice last month sent more than 20 assignments to appear to doctors and clinics who have provided such care, justice officials suggesting that they could face criminal proceedings.

The Bonta office, in a statement, said that such efforts “had no legal basis and aim to discourage suppliers from offering health care that is lawful under state law”. The trial requests a Federal Massachusetts court to leave Trump’s ordinance in its entirety to go beyond the federal authority and undermine the laws of states which guarantee equal access to health care.

In a statement to the Times, a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said this, like us, Atty. General Pam Bondi “clearly indicated that this Ministry of Justice will use all the legal tools and responsible for the application of the laws available to protect innocent children from mutilation under the cover of” care “.

Trump made a reining in transgender rights a key promise of his presidential campaign. After taking office, he moved quickly to do so through decrees, financing and disputes discreets. And in many ways, it worked – in particular with regard to the stakes for minors.

Clinics across the country that had provided such care closed their doors in response to threats and financing cuts. This includes the famous center for Transyouth Health and Development at the Los Angeles children’s hospital, one of the largest and oldest pediatric gender clinics in the United States.

The clinic told thousands of his patients and their families he closed last month. Other clinics have also closed nationally, radically reducing the availability of this care in the country.

The Republicans and other Trump supporters applauded the closings as a major victory, and they congratulated the president to protect impressable and confused children against the so-called awakened health professionals pushing what they allege to be dangerous and irreversible treatments.

Bonta said in Friday’s declaration that Trump and the “relentless attacks” of his administration against such care was “cruel and irresponsible” and endangered “already vulnerable adolescents whose health and well-being are in danger”.

“These actions have created a scary effect in which providers are forced to relax on their care for fear of prosecution, leaving countless people without the intensive care they need and have the right to law,” said Bonta.

Traditional American medical associations have supported sexual care for minors with gender dysphoria for years. They and LGBTQ + rights organizations accused Trump and his supporters of having set up these care, which includes therapy, advice and support for social transition, and may include puberty blockers, hormonal treatment and, in more rare circumstances, mastectomies.

Queer defenders, many patients and their families say that such care live, reduce intense distress – and suicidal thoughts – in young transgender people and other young people who do not comply with gender. They and many traditional medical experts acknowledge that affirmative care for young people is always a developmental field, but say that it is also based on decades of solid research by health professionals who are much better equipped than politicians to help families make difficult medical decisions.

However, as the number of children who identify as transgender or non -binary have quickly increased in recent years, this argument has failed to settle in many regions of the country. Conservatives and Republican leaders are increasingly alarmed by such care, pointing to young people who have changed their minds on the transition and now regret the care they have received.

Some of these young people, including Chloe Cole, an eminent “distraction” from California, are among the most vocal supporters of the administration. In an article on X last month, Cole praised the closure of the Children’s Hospital Clinic in Los An

The battle took place in the courts, partly as a question of the rights of a state. In June, the Supreme Court judged that conservative states could prohibit puberty blockers and hormonal treatments for transgender adolescents, the conclusion of the conservative majority of the Court, states are generally free to set their own medical care standards.

The Trump administration, however, did not take the same point of view. Instead, he aggressively attempted to eradicate the care asserted by the sexes on a national scale, regardless of the laws of the state – like those of California – which protect him.

Trump’s executive decree of January 28, entitled “Protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation”, said that “mutilated health professionals and sterilize an increasing number of impressable children under the radical and false assertion that adults can change the sex of a child thanks to a series of irreversible medical intervention.”

He defined children as anyone under who under 19 and said that to move forward, the United States would not “finance, the promotion, promotion, assistance or support for the so-called” transition “from one child to another”, but “would rigorously apply all the laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life procedures.”

The trial of states is focused on a particular section of this order, which ordered Bondi to convene the attorney general of the State and other officials of the law application at the national level to start investigating the care providers affirmed by the sexes and other groups which “can mislead the public on the long -term side effects of chemical and surgical mutilation”.

The section suggested that these surveys could be based on laws against “female genital mutilation”, or even around a 1938 law known as the ACT of food, drugs and cosmetics, which authorizes food and drug administration to regulate food, drugs, medical devices and cosmetics.

On July 9, Bondi announced the assignments of the Ministry of Justice to health care providers, saying that doctors and hospitals “that children mutilated in the service of a distorted ideology will be held responsible”.

On July 25, the Times reported that Bill Essayli, the controversial choice of the Trump administration for the American lawyer in Los Angeles, had launched the idea of invoicing doctors and hospitals to provide care for sexes.

The targeting of the affirmative care between the sexes is part of a broader effort from the administration to eliminate more broadly the rights of transgender, in part on the premise that transgender people do not exist. During his first day in power, Trump published another decree declaring that there are only two sexes.

Its administration sought to limit the options that transgender people must obtain passports which reflect their identity, and the Ministry of Justice has continued California for its policies allowing transgender girls to compete with other girls in sports for young people. Many transgender Americans are looking for ways to flee the country.

However, many in the LGBTQ + community fear that attacks will only get worse. Among those who are the most afraid are parents of transgender children – including those who believe that their health files may have been collected under the assignments of the Ministry of Justice.

A mother of a patient from a children’s hospital told Times last month that she was terrified that the Ministry of Justice “would come after parents and use the female law of genital mutilation … to continue parents and separate me from my child”.

Bonta said his office had not heard of any targeted parents, but he did not exclude it as a possibility, given the Trump administration actions to date.

“If they are ready to use a nonexistent law to attack providers, what would prevent them from continuing parents, because they would put these cultural wars?” Bonta said at a press conference on Friday morning.

Bonta directs the trial with the Attorney General of Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Delaware General Prosecutors, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
