Mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani wants to spend $65 million in taxpayer funds on transgender treatment — including for minors — if he’s elected to lead New York City.
The Queens assemblyman, who is locked in a close race with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, says on his campaign website that the money would be funneled to public providers to help transgender New Yorkers.
About $57 million would be allotted for public hospitals, community clinics, federally qualified health centers and nonprofits with another $8 million for more expanded services, the website states.
Mamdani defended the spending plan as necessary, citing how private Big Apple hospitals had stopped providing gender-affirming care for minors under threats from the Trump administration earlier this year.
“LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers are under attack by the Trump administration and Zohran is going to stand up for them as Mayor,” a campaign spokesperson said in a statement to The Post on Monday.

This nutcase moron moves the democratic party’s radical insanity to new unimaginable heights!
Jessica Tarlov, and the rest of her upper West Side liberal pals, should collect a special assessment fee to help the new mayor with the agenda they voted for.
If this kook is elected, he will become a leading figure in the Democratic party and New York will become an impossible to miss example of the idiocy of Leftist policies.
This issue is never the issue; the issue is always the Revolution.
The guy promotes transgenderism, not because he really cares about transgenderism, but because he wants to destroy western civilization. It’s about the Revolution.
Gotta hit the sack
Keep the thread going please
Wake up the sheeple 🐑🐑🐑
God bless 🙏
Adams' best shot is for wealthy and prominent business community New Yorkers to form a "Committee to Save New York" PAC that will unload on Mamdani -- and maybe find a way to somehow get Sliwa to drop out.
It’s not a slippery slope if it was part of the program all along.
This guy is a huge gift to the Republican party. If NYC wants to destroy itself, that’s their business. No federal bailouts.
He also boasts government run food stores.
Zohran Mamdani is a Twelver Shiite, same as the loony Ayatollahs who oppress Iran. And guess what. Trans operations are legitimate in Iran and not opposed by the government. Wacky but true.
Only Thailand does more trans-gender operations than Iran

Legitimacy of Transgender Operations
Legal Status: Sex reassignment surgery (SRS) is legal in Iran and has been since the mid-1980s, following a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1987, prompted by transgender activist Maryam Khatoon Molkara. This fatwa declared SRS permissible under Islamic law as a means to align the body with the soul for “diagnosed transsexuals.”
Government Support: The Iranian government provides limited financial assistance for SRS, including grants of up to 55 million rials (approximately $1,841 USD, though older data) and loans. Since 2012, health insurance companies are required to cover the full cost of SRS, though coverage for related care, like hormone therapy, can be inconsistent due to claims of it being “cosmetic.”
Process and Recognition: Transgender individuals must undergo psychological evaluation to confirm gender dysphoria before receiving court approval for SRS. Post-surgery, they can change their legal gender on official documents (e.g., birth certificates, passports), allowing them to live legally as their affirmed gender. This makes Iran one of the few countries in the region to recognize transgender identities legally after surgery.
Scale: Iran performs a significant number of SRS procedures, reportedly second only to Thailand globally. Between 2006 and 2010, the government issued 1,366 permits for SRS, and a 2022 study estimated 839 individuals were deemed eligible for SRS between 2012 and 2017.
Government Stance
Official Support: The government does not oppose SRS and actively supports it through subsidies and legal recognition, viewing it as a “cure” for gender dysphoria, which is classified as a medical disorder. This stance stems from Khomeini’s fatwa and is reinforced by religious scholars who see SRS as aligning with the gender binary.
Contradictions and Limitations: Despite this support, the government’s stance is not wholly progressive:
Discrimination and Stigma: Transgender individuals face significant social stigma, harassment, and discrimination, even after SRS. The Tehran City Council, for example, in 2024 advised trans people to avoid busy public areas like Valiasr Intersection, highlighting societal and institutional challenges.
Pressure on Non-Trans Individuals: The government’s strict criminalization of homosexuality (punishable by imprisonment, flogging, or death) has led to concerns that some gay individuals are pressured to undergo SRS to avoid persecution, as being transgender is legally tolerated while homosexuality is not. Activists argue this policy can function as a tool to “erase” homosexuality by reclassifying it as gender dysphoria.

FORESEEN CONSEQUENCES
The coming suicide of The Big Apple in the November mayoral election will be the crowning acheivement of the
muslim invasion started by president George "Dubya" Bush after the 9/11 muslim terrorist attacks.
The anticipated election of muzzie terrorist Zohran Mamdani in NY City will revive the Florida real estate market
and send selling prices of homes in the state to new record highs.
This does not sound very Islamic? Do not they hate gays?
