A federal judge has struck down a Biden-era rule expanding federal anti-discrimination measures to transgender healthcare, ruling that the Department of Health and Human Services exceeded its authority in creating the regulation. The rule aimed to safeguard transgender patients' access to gender-affirming care. The decision effectively nullifies the rule, which was implemented during the administration of President Joe Biden. The ruling marks a setback for efforts to promote inclusivity and equity in healthcare settings.
