Summary
A California judge has extended a temporary restraining order, allowing a San Diego children’s hospital to continue providing transgender treatments to minors despite the Trump administration’s efforts to ban such treatments. The hospital, Rady Children’s Health, had announced it would stop treatments due to the administration’s guidance, but the judge’s order allows it to continue for now. The move comes as hospitals in California and New York take different approaches to the administration’s executive order. NYU Langone Health in New York City has ended its Transgender Youth Health Program due to the “current regulatory environment.”

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The judge’s order extends the temporary restraining order by 15 days, allowing Rady Children’s Health to continue providing hormone therapy and puberty blockers to minors. The hospital had announced it would stop treatments due to the Trump administration’s guidance. NYU Langone Health in New York City has ended its Transgender Youth Health Program due to the “current regulatory environment.” The Trump administration’s executive order seeks to end transgender treatment for minors, and hospitals are taking different approaches to comply. The situation has put hospitals “between a rock and a hard place,” according to the judge.
It’s a familiar dance: hospitals adjust to new guidance, lawyers argue, and judges intervene.
