Even in California, Hospitals are Halting Gender Affirming Care for Trans Youth

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

Hospitals are pausing or ending gender-affirming care for transgender youth, even in blue states like California.  Stanford and Kaiser have both halted gender-related surgeries for minors, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shut down its venerated Center for Transyouth Health and Development earlier this summer. Marisa is joined by the San Francisco Chronicle's Erin Allday to discuss the current state of trans youth healthcare and how families in the Bay Area are responding.  For more political analysis, sign up for Political Breakdown’s newsletter.
