California AG Sues Hospital for Ending Gender Transition Treatment for Minors Over Trump Policies

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against a San Diego hospital that ended gender transition treatment for minors to comply with the Trump administration's policies, alleging a violation of state law and California's rights protections. The hospital made the decision in response to the federal government's policy change, which it says will leave transgender minors without access to life-saving medical care. Bonta claims the move is an attempt by the hospital to 'silence its patients and comply with discriminatory policies.' The lawsuit seeks to compel the hospital to reinstate treatment for eligible minors.
