Michigan State Rep. Carrie Rheingans is pledging to help connect minors with gender-transition services following the University of Michigan’s decision to stop offering sex-change procedures for children. The university halted its gender-affirming care program for minors amid pressure from the Trump administration and concerns about losing federal Medicare and Medicaid funding.
A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld Oklahoma’s law banning sex change surgeries and hormone treatments for minors, delivering a significant legal victory to advocates of parental rights and child protection. The ruling affirms the state’s authority to restrict medical interventions on minors amid ongoing debate over the safety and ethics of gender transition procedures.
New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and newly minted winner of the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, has proposed a $65 million taxpayer-funded plan to expand sex change drugs and surgeries across the city. His campaign platform details sweeping financial support for what he calls “gender-affirming care,” a term broadly encompassing irreversible procedures and hormone treatments for both minors and adults.
