A day after signing an executive order banning transgender individuals from serving in the military, Donald Trump today (Tuesday, Jan.
28) issued a broad ban on health care for trans youth, including denying coverage to children of federal employees, postal employees, and military service members.
Trump’s order also is intended to ban federal funding for any healthcare institution that provides gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.
And just as Lambda Legal yesterday immediately stepped up today to challenge the ban on trans people in the military with legal action in the courts, the organization today promised swift action to challenge the trans youth health care ban.
