Children's Hospital Los Angeles has announced that it is pausing transgender hormonal therapy for patients under the age of 19. In a statement issued Tuesday, hospital officials said they are suspending the care to assess an executive order signed last week by President Trump banning the use of hormones, puberty blockers and other transgender medical procedures on minors.
Families of transgender youth represented by the ACLU, Lambda Legal and other firms filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the order on Tuesday, claiming it violated the rights of transgender youth, the Los Angeles Times reported.
