New York AG orders Manhattan hospital to resume gender-transition treatment for transgender youth

New York Attorney General Letitia James is instructing a Manhattan hospital to resume offering gender-transition treatment to transgender youth after it ended such treatments last month over funding threats from the Trump administration.

NYU Langone's decision to close its Transgender Youth Health Program violated the state’s anti-discrimination laws by "jeopardizing access to medically necessary healthcare for some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers," James wrote in a Feb. 25 letter first made public this week.
