Just weeks after multiple Colorado hospitals halted gender-affirming care for minors following threats of losing federal funding by the Trump administration, two have walked back the change.

Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health announced Wednesday that they will return to providing specific services for transgender youth regarding puberty blockers and hormone therapy in the wake of President Donald Trump's Jan. 28 order that threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provided the medical care to patients 18 and under.

The order said medical professionals are “maiming and sterilizing” impressionable young children by performing irreversible surgical and chemical interventions by providing them with “puberty blockers” — drugs that suppress sex hormones during puberty — or performing sex change operations.

Note: Gender confirming surgery are not preformed on minors!

Multiple health systems in the state quickly backed off the care following the order, but Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health will return following Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser joining a lawsuit filed in Washington state Wednesday that is attempting to block the order.

The federal judge in the case issued a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration and said that the order “blatantly discriminated against trans youth,” according to a press release from the Colorado Attorney General's Office.

This isn't over... it will be going to the Supreme Court!

Ohio bathroom law targeting transgender students has brought internal strife to some campuses

For some famously progressive colleges in Ohio, a new state law designed to keep transgender women from using women’s restrooms at schools is bringing a moment of soul-searching for students, alumni and administrators.

It’s one of many such laws adopted around the country, with the stated intent of protecting female students. The Ohio law — which applies fully to private colleges, unlike the others — allows individual institutions to decide how they will obey and enforce the measure.

But navigating the law has become a challenge, especially at colleges like Antioch and Oberlin, campuses built on a bedrock of idealism and protest where many see the law as part of a wider attack on transgender students.

They are afraid of losing federal funding...

For some, the idea of complying at all runs counter to the long-held value of being gender-inclusive. At the same time, colleges across the country are sorting the impact of the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, including a threat to cut federal funding for schools that reject its interpretation of civil rights laws.

Oberlin has published policies saying the school will comply with the law taking effecting Tuesday and is offering counseling and a chance for students to ask to move out of their dorms. Antioch has not announced a detailed plan.

FEAR! That is what Trump & Company want to create uncertainty and fear in hospitals, school, and colleges!
