💨 Abstract

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by 17 Democratic officials accusing the Trump administration of unlawfully intimidating healthcare providers into stopping gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Several major hospitals have halted or restricted these services due to federal subpoenas and investigations, despite state laws allowing the care. The officials argue that the administration is attempting an unlawful nationwide ban, while Trump administration officials cite questionable science and potential regret from patients.
