From the article: "Seven families with transgender or nonbinary children filed a lawsuit Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s executive order to halt federal support for gender-affirming health care for transgender people under age 19.
"PFLAG, a national group for family of LGBTQ+ people; and GLMA, a doctors organization, are also plaintiffs in the court challenge in a Baltimore federal court.
"It comes one week after Trump signed an order calling for the federal government to stop funding the medical care through federal government-run health insurance programs including Medicaid and TRICARE."

From the article: "New York State Attorney General Letitia James has advised health care providers in the state that failing to provide gender-affirming care to transgender minors violates New York antidiscrimination law.
"Donald Trump issued an executive order last week titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” targets the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries for anyone under 19, referring to them as “chemical and surgical mutilation.” It directs federal agencies to rescind policies supporting such treatments, withdraw funding from institutions that provide them, and enforce existing laws limiting access to these procedures. This comes even though these procedures are endorsed by every major medical organization."

From the article: “VCU Health and Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU have suspended gender-affirming medication and gender-affirming surgical procedures for those under 19 years old in response to a White House executive order and clear guidance from the state provided to VCU,” a hospital spokesperson told The Advocate in an email. “We are committed to ensuring that we’re always delivering care in accordance with the law. Appointments will be maintained to discuss specific care options for patients in compliance with the most recent guidance.”

From the article: "In a Wednesday memo, Office of Personnel Management Acting Director Charles Ezell instructed agencies to comply by Friday at 5 p.m. ET with an executive order that says its aim is "defending women from gender ideology extremism."
"That memo laid out "steps to end federal funding of gender ideology." Among those was the instruction to "Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology."

From the article: "Emily Shilling, who has been openly transgender since 2019, is currently serving as a commander in the Navy with more than 19 years of service, including as a combat pilot who flew 60 missions in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
“I just want to continue serving my country, using the skills this nation invested in me as a fighter pilot and leader,” she said, stressing that she was speaking in her personal capacity. “For nearly two decades, I’ve upheld the highest standards of excellence, leading teams in combat and peace. All I ask is the opportunity to keep using my training and experience to serve this country with honor, courage and dedication.”

From the article: "Donald Trump has signed another executive order aimed at the transgender community on Tuesday, this time prohibiting gender transitions for people under the age of 19.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” reads the president’s executive order.
"The order denotes that “child” or “children” means an individual or individuals under 19 years of age and that the term “pediatric” means relating to the medical care of a child. It also clarifies that the phrase “chemical and surgical mutilation” entails puberty blockers, the use of hormones such as estrogen or testosterone, and surgical procedures. Much of what is mentioned is known as gender-affirming care."

From the article: "The order directly contradicts a number of existing laws and recent court rulings and is likely to face legal challenges. It also defies decades of research into how human bodies grow and develop.
"The document represents “a dramatic failure to understand biology,” said Rachel Levin, a Pomona College neuroscientist who studies the development of sex.
"In the order, sex is described as “an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female,” and, despite Trump’s own conflation in his address, it says sex does not serve as a synonym for gender identity."

From the article: "Trans-rights advocacy groups preparing to deal with the repercussions of an executive order signed this week by President Trump, which could jeopardize federal protections for members of the transgender community, say they will step up support efforts and are considering legal action.
"After months of unrelenting anti-trans attacks from conservative leaders, the directive from Trump’s administration, which declares that the federal government recognizes only two sexes: male and female, did not come as a surprise to many local organizers and civil rights activists. Rolling back protections for gender-nonconforming people was always a central part of the president’s campaign.
"Community groups dedicated to supporting transgender and nonbinary people have been readying themselves since Trump’s electoral victory in November, said Heron Greenesmith, deputy director of policy at the Transgender Law Center in Oakland. Community outreach services are already in place to educate people on their rights and to provide legal assistance to those who need it."

From the article: "Trump’s order says it is intended to protect women’s spaces from those who “self-identify” as women.
"It defines the sexes in an unconventional way, based on the reproductive cells — large cells in females or small ones in males. And it suggests that humans have those cells at conception.
"Biologists say that’s a problem because egg cells develop many weeks later, and sperm cells are produced at puberty, not at conception.
“At that stage, sexual differentiation has not started to take place,” said Carl Bergstrom, a University of Washington evolutionary biologist. “I can’t see any logically coherent way to interpret the definition in this executive order, given the addition of the phrase ‘at conception.’”

From the article: "When the premise of Will & Harper was first shared with GLAAD, we were admittedly skeptical. Historically the world of comedy has not been kind nor welcoming of transgender people, least of all shows like Saturday Night Live where Will Ferrell, one of the two participants in this documentary, first became a household name.
"Yet after the filmmakers provided GLAAD with a cut of Will & Harper last fall, prior to its acceptance at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, we immediately understood the opportunities that the film presented. It is a smart film that leads with humor, empathy, and acceptance, and we knew that it had the power to change hearts and minds about transgender people. It would be a powerful antidote to the well-funded efforts to dehumanize and scapegoat the entire trans community"
