New York Attorney General Letitia James warned local hospitals Monday that they will be in violation of state discrimination laws if they comply with President Trump’s executive order aimed at outlawing sex-change procedures for minors.
“Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws, including those that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their membership in a protected class, such as sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, military status, disability, or marital status,” James wrote in a letter to New York healthcare facilities.
“Electing to refuse services to a class of individuals based on their protected status, such as withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, is discrimination under New York law,” she added.
James, 66, urged anyone who witnesses “potential violations” to contact the New York Attorney General’s Office.
Her letter comes as several hospitals across the country have already taken steps to cut back on so-called “gender-affirming care” in an apparent effort to comply with Trump’s Jan. 28 executive order “protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation.”
The order threatens to withhold federal funding from hospitals that provide sex-change treatment, like puberty blockers and hormone therapy, to youths under the age of 19.
“It’s already having its intended effect — preventing children from being maimed and sterilized by adults perpetuating a radical, false claim that they can somehow change a child’s sex,” the White House said in a statement Monday, highlighting hospitals in Colorado, Virginia, Washington, DC, Illinois and Pennsylvania that are reportedly pursuing action to “downsize or eliminate” transgender programs.

Letitia just crossed the line. She will soon be wearing an orange jump suit.
Seems like an unfunded mandate imposed on private businesses. Fascism.
But of course, Democrats are incapable of reversing or changing course.
Maybe, at some point soon, the federal DOJ will actually pursue crimes.
The State of New York may find itself on the other side of 1865.
Latitia commands, “The child sacrifices must continue! Your master demands it.”
That TREASONOUS B!TC}{ needs to have a Brain Change surgery !!!
She’s DEMONIC!
There aren’t going to be ENOUGH Orange Suits for all that need them!!
She thinks NYC is in secession of the Union
Jail will look good on her.
Fat A$$ needs to have her DimWIT brain in federal prison for all to see. No brain transplants needed.
You don’t have to put all of the DimWITS in prison. The others will get the message but that doesn’t mean ALL of them will immediately wise up
Let’s start with the biggest DimWIT and then see who else wants an orange jump suit.
such as withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, is discrimination under New York law,” she added.
And what services might those be? What normal person wants their breasts or penis removed for non medical reasons in stead of instances such as cancer mitigation? [ie, not the same thing.]
Woman is a first class beotch who needs to be taken down several notches.
Maybe it’s time to look for a money connection between the NY AG and Pharma.
I know this point is less important than stopping children from being mutilated, but this is just another example of how the dems are doubling down on what cost them the elections last November.
You are not up to speed with cultural growth and awareness. I was watching ET the other day, and that look seems to be promoted as the new standard of beauty. If you don’t approve, you are racist.
Time to send Jungle Jim after this rogue ghettopotamus.
She usually talks out her big a**.
Money talks, everything else is ..well BS!
The Hospital Admins will go along with Trump for two reasons. the first it is not clear who would pay for the procedure and two they are opening up themselves for lawsuits as these children become adults and become fully aware of what was done to them.
They have also got to know that in a power struggle Letitia James vs President Trump she will lose.
