Calif AG orders hospitals to continue trans services for minors despite Trump's ban directive

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has warned state hospitals and care providers not to stop providing services to transgender minors, citing a ban on trans-related surgeries imposed by President Donald Trump's executive order as 'unlawful'. The warning comes after Childrens Hospital Los Angeles was told to halt the hospital's transition program for minors. Bonta's office stated that California law requires healthcare providers to provide care without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. The warning is seen as a key victory for advocates of trans rights in the state.
