California and a coalition of other liberal-led states sued the Trump administration Friday over efforts to end gender-affirming care for transgender, intersex and nonbinary children and young adults nationwide — calling them an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ+ patients, healthcare providers and states’ rights.
The lawsuit was brought by California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and officials from 15 other states and the District of Columbia. It challenges a Jan. 28 executive order by President Trump that denounced gender-affirming care as “mutilation” and called on U.S. Justice Department officials to effectively enforce a ban, including by launching investigations into healthcare providers.
The lawsuit notes the Justice Department last month sent more than 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics that have provided such care nationwide, with justice officials suggesting they may face criminal prosecution.
Bonta’s office, in a statement, said such efforts “have no legal basis and are intended to discourage providers from offering lifesaving healthcare that is lawful under state law.” The lawsuit asks a federal court in Massachusetts to vacate Trump’s order in its entirety for exceeding federal authority and undermining state laws that guarantee equal access to healthcare.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. Trump made reining in transgender rights a key promise of his presidential campaign. Upon taking office, he moved swiftly to do so through executive orders, funding cuts and litigation. And in many ways, it has worked — particularly when it comes to gender-affirming care for minors.

“Gender affirming” is a false insane label.
I got yer gender affirming care riiiight here!
“....shall, consistent with applicable law,....”
“The Secretary of HHS, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall....”
“....rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
Molach must be sated!
Wonder where the constitution says the federal government has to provide funds for castration.
I would think the democrats would willing pay for what they propose.
“Gender affirming care” is a masterpiece of leftoid propagandistic euphemism.
How is it these sex change procedures are even legal in the first place?
I have yet to hear about back alley castrations and breast amputations, or trips to 3rd world clinics for such operations.
There is no such thing as gender dysporia. It’s just another phony psychiatric disorder that justifies billing insurance companies. The doctors who drug and mutilate children are disciples of Mengele and should be tried and hanged under Nuremberg laws. All therapists and teachers who refer children for this atrocity pretending to be a treatment should be banned from practicing at a minimum.
ONLY THE LAWYERS WILL WIN THIS ONE
I think “Gender Mutilating” care would be more accurate.
Those states can still do it but on their own dime not someone else’s.
