A coalition of 16 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Friday over what they describe as an "unconstitutional pressure campaign" to stop doctors and hospitals from providing gender-affirming care to transgender youth.

"The federal government is running a cruel and targeted harassment campaign against providers who offer lawful, lifesaving care to children," New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote in a statement. "We will never stop fighting for the dignity, safety, and basic rights of the transgender community."

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, argues the Trump administration is trying to effectuate a de facto national ban on gender-affirming care for youth, even though there's no federal statute that prohibits the care.

 "The result is an atmosphere of fear and intimidation experienced by transgender individuals, their families and caregivers, and the medical professionals who seek only to provide necessary, lawful care to their patients," the lawsuit states.

There have been a number of protest here in Connecticut against the hospitals but the hospitals have no options. 80 percent of their funding comes from Medicare and Medicaid, they had no options, it is extortion plan and simple!

 Connecticut has joined 17 other states and the District of Columbia in suing the Trump administration for its attempts to restrict gender-affirming care for minors and young adults..

Attorney General William Tong joined Attorney General Rob Bonta of California and Attorney General Kwame Raoul of Illinois in a virtual call announcing the lawsuit last week. The lawsuit argues that the administration is overstepping its authority by using threats of criminal prosecution and federal investigations to pressure health care providers, and asks the court to block the administration’s actions.

Tong said while the legal arguments in the case may center around rights, the rule of law, and health care, ultimately the lawsuit is about people. 

“The question I have for the president and [U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and anyone who wants to attack children and families, and health care, and transgender people, and gender affirming care, my only question is what would you do if your kid, your child was diagnosed with gender dysphoria?” Tong said. “I know what I would do. I would fight for my kid every single day. And that’s what we’re doing right here.” 

There have been a number of protests around Connecticut about the hospitals dropping our healthcare, I know that protesting is empowering... but we should be in front of the federal building and not the hospitals. The hospitals are not the evil one, not even one of his minions but rather a pawn.

 “U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and her team have decided to block gender-affirming care for individuals under 19 years of age and threaten health care providers, licenses, livelihoods, and liberty,” Bonta said. “Trump, Bondi and their allies have undermined trained medical professionals, trampled over states’ rights, overstepped their constitutional authority, and endangered vulnerable minors and 18-year-old adults.”

During a press briefing following the attorneys generals’ call, Tong characterized the Trump administration’s executive orders as a “war on America’s children.”

“The actions that they have taken to deny care to children, to patients, to families is unlawful and unconstitutional,” he said. “It’s arbitrary. It’s capricious. And it’s contrary to law. And their efforts to ban care, where they have no business, no right to ban care, are unlawful. It is the state’s business. This is the sovereign state of Connecticut last time I checked.”

It will all boil down to those nine people sitting behind a bench, of those three Trump appointed through chicanery!
