What changed
The federal court issued a permanent injunction blocking the Trump administration's action targeting healthcare providers who offer gender-affirming care to minors with gender dysphoria. This ruling was secured by a coalition of 22 state Attorneys General led by Washington, Oregon, and New York.\n\nHealthcare providers offering gender-affirming care in the 22 participating states are now protected from federal threats or retaliation related to their treatment of youth patients. Providers in other states should monitor whether similar legal challenges arise in their jurisdictions. The court's permanent injunction means the federal action cannot be enforced against providers in coalition states.
