19 States Sue HHS Over Trump-Era Rule Restricting Gender Transition Treatment for Minors

A group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C. have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its declaration restricting gender transition treatment for minors. The states claim the declaration is unconstitutional and violates the rights of transgender youth. The lawsuit seeks to block the Trump administration's policy change from taking effect. The action was taken despite a previous court ruling blocking the policy in several other jurisdictions.
