On January 28, President Trump issued an executive order declaring that "it is our policy to not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support gender transition for people under 19. As such, we will discontinue federal funding to medical institutions that provide this type of care and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures."
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Wisconsin are suing to have this policy overturned by the court. California Attorney General Rob Bonta explained "we believe this restriction is an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ+ patients, healthcare providers and states' rights."
US Attorney General Pam Bondi replied "there is no constitutional right to receive federal money to fund the mutilation of minors. No state, hospital, clinic, or medical professional has a right to receive federal money for this purpose. As a matter of science, there is no medical procedure that can change any person's sex. Telling minors that they can change their sex is a lie. Those who promote this lie are morally culpable. States may have laws allowing these fantasy medical procedures. The President's executive order doesn't intrude upon a state's power to do this at their own risk and own expense."
Nevertheless, Bonta expressed concern that "rigorously enforcing laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures will seriously disrupt a widely accepted standard of medical care."
In related news, US District Judge Indira Talwani barred the Trump Administration from enforcing the Big Beautiful Bill's discontinuation of funding for Planned Parenthood "because it will lead to the unwanted birth of millions of babies and thwart the transformation that President Obama envisioned for America."
Really something, the rats double down on sterilizing and mutilating children. What a hill to die on. I know they get a LOT of money from the woke mob but still.
The transgender cult is another one on the fade out list confused angry and wishing they knew what the hell sex they are.

I am shocked that the Peoples Republic of Minnesota is not on the list particularly with Tampon Tim Walz as governor.
