In a victory for transgender people and their families, a federal judge has GRANTED a request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive orders threatening federal funding for providers of gender-affirming medical care for people under 19. 🎉 The preliminary injunction extends a temporary restraining order that was previously entered in the case and was set to expire March 5.
“Again, the court has ruled to ensure hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals in our communities can continue the work to keep our families healthy. Transgender people and their supportive parents and families are good and decent people who deserve the freedom to be themselves and to thrive. PFLAG National and our vast network of chapters, members and supporters will continue to ensure that love leads in this fight for justice for transgender people.” —Brian K. Bond (he/him), Chief Executive Officer of PFLAG National.
