Protesters Rally Against Closure of Largest Gender-Affirming Care Center for Kids in US
CALIFORNIA, JUL 09 – The center served thousands of trans youth on public insurance before closing due to federal threats to cut funding for gender-affirming care programs, officials said.
- On July 22, California’s longest-running trans youth care center, operating for three decades and serving thousands, will close following recent Supreme Court decisions.
- Federal threats from the Trump administration and FTC actions labeling gender-affirming care as deceptive prompted the center's July 22 closure.
- Evidence shows trans youth face increased suicide risk; therapist Beth Hossfeld called the closure 'patient abandonment,' and UCLA researcher Johanna Olson-Kennedy refused to publish NIH-funded studies on puberty blockers.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta warned that closing the center risks violating state anti-discrimination laws, affirming that gender-affirming care remains legal in California.
- The closure follows the Supreme Court's recent upholding of Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care, described as part of an 'all-out war' on LGBTQ+ rights, amid ongoing federal and legislative efforts.
