Government Agencies Increase Scrutiny of Transgender Youth Care
Recent reports indicate a significant escalation in government scrutiny regarding medical care for transgender youth. The Justice Department is demanding private information, including names, addresses, and medical records, from 20 gender-affirming medical providers. This follows pressure from Trump officials for confidential data about transgender children seeking care. In addition, there are ongoing investigations targeting hospitals as they navigate the complexities of providing gender-affirming services under increasing governmental oversight.
