@gmrnews: In response to a recent executive order from President Donald Trump that mandates federally funded medical institutions to deny gender-affirming care to transgender youth under 19, Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has announced a pause in initiating new hormone treatments for transgender minors. While existing patients will continue their treatments, the hospital is evaluating the implications of the federal directive. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has warned that withholding such services may violate the state's Unruh Civil Rights Act, emphasizing that California law requires the provision of gender-affirming care. The Los Angeles LGBT Center has also urged CHLA to reverse its decision, stating that compliance with the executive order legitimizes attacks on transgender rights. #TransgenderRights #GenderAffirmingCare #CHLA #TransYouth #LGBTQHealth #TransHealthcare #ProtectTransKids #CaliforniaLaw #UnruhAct #TransEquality #LGBTQCommunity #TransSupport #HealthcareRights #TransPolicy #TransAdvocacy
