Part 2/9:
One significant development occurred in New York where the Attorney General issued an order defying Trump’s executive mandate prohibiting certain medical procedures for transgender minors. The order specifically states that hospitals must continue providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries or risk being sued for violating state anti-discrimination laws. NYU Langone Health, a prominent medical institution in the state, temporarily stopped providing these services following Trump's directive but is currently being prepared to take a stand in support of minors seeking these treatments.
