Applaud the 16 States Fighting for Trans Youth Health Care

Sixteen states and Washington, D.C. just took a bold and compassionate stand — filing a powerful lawsuit to stop the Trump administration’s politically motivated attacks on doctors, hospitals, and families who provide or seek gender-affirming care for minors.

This landmark lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, challenges the administration’s attempt to criminalize transition-related care and unlawfully collect private medical data from providers. It sends a clear message: states will not be bullied into abandoning trans youth or compromising their constitutional rights.

From California and Connecticut to Illinois and Pennsylvania, they’re standing up for evidence-based medicine, basic dignity, and the freedom for every family to access health care without fear or harassment.

Add your name to applaud these courageous states for defending trans youth, protecting providers, and taking a stand against political interference in health care. Let's show we have their backs — and we won’t let hate win.
