Children’s Hospital L.A. keeps limits on transgender care amid challenges to Trump order

LA Times  

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is keeping its recent restrictions on gender-affirming care in place as hospital officials review decisions by federal judges to pause parts of President Trump’s executive order targeting the use of puberty blockers, hormones and other procedures for transgender youths. In separate rulings, U.S. District Court judges in Baltimore and Seattle issued temporary restraining orders to put parts of Trump’s executive order on hold, including a section that directs federal agencies to ensure that hospitals receiving federal research or education grants “end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.” In an email to staff last week, hospital chief executive Paul Viviano and Chief Operating Officer Lara Khouri said they welcomed the temporary restraining orders issued by the federal judges, but were still reviewing them to understand their implications. Children’s Hospital said this month that it had paused the initiation of hormonal therapy for “gender affirming care patients” under the age of 19 as it assessed Trump’s executive order. “We want to be clear that every decision we make is with all our patients and team members top of mind.” Jesse Thorn, whose children receive care at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, said he sympathizes with its fears, but “I also would ask them to search their hearts and say, ‘What other groups of people would we stop providing care for?’ Where do they draw the line here?” Families of transgender youths and others have sued to try to stop Trump’s executive order, saying it violates the rights of transgender youths.
