Trump administration urges therapy for transgender youth, not gender-affirming care

PRESIDENT LOST. THE PLAINTIFFS WON, AND THE JUDGE ISSUED A 14 DAY TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST A WHITE HOUSE EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT HE SAID ESSENTIALLY HELD FEDERAL FUNDING HOSTAGE FOR HOSPITALS IF THEY PROVIDED GENDER AFFIRMING CARE FOR TRANSGENDER YOUNG PEOPLE. THIS IS ANOTHER REMINDER TO THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION THAT THE CONSTITUTION NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED, AND WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION. WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE ARE UNDER ATTACK? STAND UP. FIGHT BACK. PROTESTERS DEMONSTRATED OUTSIDE U.S. DISTRICT COURT IN BALTIMORE TODAY AS A FEDERAL JUDGE INSIDE HEARD ARGUMENTS IN A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO A PAIR OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BACK IN JANUARY, INCLUDING ONE SEEKING TO BAR TRANSGENDER HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 19. IT DIRECTS AGENCIES ACROSS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY WITHHOLD FEDERAL FUNDING, INCLUDING SCIENCE AND RESEARCH GRANTS TO MEDICAL PROVIDERS, HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT PROVIDE TRANSGENDER HEALTH CARE TO PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 19. EVEN IF THE GRANT MONEY WAS USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THE ACLU OF MARYLAND FILED SUIT IN FEBRUARY ON BEHALF OF SEVEN TRANSGENDER YOUNG ADULTS, ADOLESCENTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. TODAY, THEIR LAWYERS TOLD THE JUDGE THEY HAVE BEEN HARMED. THEIR HEALTH IS NOW AT RISK. THE PRESIDENT ISSUED AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ILLEGAL ORDER. FEDERAL REGULATORS DOUBLED DOWN ON IT RIGHT AWAY THROUGH AN EMAIL. AND HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY CANCELED PATIENT APPOINTMENTS. THE LAWYER FOR THE DEFENDANTS, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, CALLED THE MOTION PREMATURE, ARGUING NOTHING HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY IMPLEMENTED. NO MONEY HAS BEEN WITHHELD, NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T SEE HOW ANYONE CAN CREDIBLY ARGUE THAT, THE JUDGE SAID REPEATEDLY. AND IT SEEMS DISINGENUOUS TO ARGUE OTHERWISE. HE ISSUED A 14 DAY TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, AND THE PLAINTIFFS HAD THIS REACTION. CERTAINLY, THE COURT UNDERSTOOD THE GRAVITY AND THE SCOPE OF THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING HARMS THAT WERE BEING INSTITUTED BY THIS ORDER. HE SAID HIS VERY NEXT STEP WAS TO GO CALL THE SEVEN TRANSGENDER YOUTH THAT HE REPRESENTS AND TELL THEM CONGRATULATIONS. AND AFTER THAT, HE SAID, THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�LL BE SPENDING THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WORKING ON TRYING TO GET A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION. HE SAID THAT COULD INVOLVE ANOTHER ROUND OF BRIEFINGS AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER COURT HEARING, WHICH WOULD TAKE PLACE HERE. REPORTING LIVE OUTSIDE FEDERAL
