California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against a San Diego<\/a> hospital over its move to end gender transition treatment for minors to comply with the Trump administration’s demands.<\/p>\n

Bonta is arguing that Rady Children’s Hospital violated the terms of its merger agreement with Children’s Hospital of Orange County by halting transgender-related treatment for people under 18-years-old, according to KCRA3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rady said the issue began when the federal government threatened to strip funding and shut down the hospital for offering gender transition treatment to children, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The hospital agreed to the Trump administration’s demands and announced the closure of its gender transition care center, prompting California’s legal challenge<\/a>, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Bonta’s lawsuit alleges that the hospital violated the terms of its merger agreement, which included a commitment to continue making gender transition care available to minors.<\/p>\n

“The recent changes to our gender-affirming care services reflect a very difficult decision,” the hospital said in a statement to KCRA3.<\/p>\n

California Attorney General Rob Bonta is arguing that Rady Children’s Hospital violated the terms of its merger agreement with Children’s Hospital of Orange County.<\/p>\n

“That decision was guided by our responsibilities as a nonprofit pediatric healthcare system to continue serving all children and families,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

This comes as the Trump administration continues to target facilities that offer transgender-related treatment to people under 18 after President Donald Trump’s<\/a> executive order a year ago calling on the Department of Health and Human Services to protect children from “chemical and surgical mutilation.”<\/p>\n

Last year, California was part of a group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C., that filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a declaration that seeks to restrict gender transition treatment for minors.<\/p>\n

That declaration from HHS described treatments such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender transition surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children experiencing gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n

It also warned doctors they could be excluded from federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, if they provide these treatments to minors.<\/p>\n
