More than a dozen states filed a lawsuit on Friday to block the Trump administration from investigating hospitals and doctors who provide gender-affirming care to children. The complaint argues that in attempting to prosecute medical providers, the Trump administration is trying to put in place a national ban on puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries for transgender children. Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order banning federal funds from going to medical schools and hospitals that provide gender-affirming care for minors. Currently more than half of all states have laws that restrict or outright ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
