The Attack on Transgender Kids Isn’t Just Cruel. It’s an Omen.

In his first six months in office, President Donald Trump has launched a relentless campaign of fear and intimidation aimed at dismantling the network that provides health care to transgender adolescents.

It’s working. Hospitals — worried that their federal funding for Medicaid and Medicare may be jeopardized — are rapidly withdrawing support from this small, vulnerable group of young people. With each passing month of Trump’s presidency, families find the future of care for their transgender children increasingly uncertain.
