NY AG warns hospitals they'll be breaking state law if they follow Trump's order on transgender healthcare James sends letter to remind healthcare facilities that refusing to provide gender-affirming care would be in violation of New York state anti-discrimination laws.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has warned hospitals that they will be breaking state law if they adhere to President Donald Trump's executive order on transgender healthcare.
Trump signed an executive order last week stating that federal agencies must make sure that hospitals that receive federal research and education grants must "end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.".
James used a letter to remind healthcare facilities that refusing to provide gender-affirming care would be in violation of New York state anti-discrimination laws.
The New York attorney general also filed a civil suit against the president, his children, and the Trump Organization in September 2022 for allegedly taking part in a “fraudulent scheme” to inflate their assets.
