Intersex Children Shut Out As Hospitals Halt Gender-Affirming Care

In the local area, intersex children are being affected by hospitals halting gender-affirming care. This change is reportedly linked to threats from the Trump administration to defund facilities that treat trans minors. As a result, intersex youth who require hormone therapy are being shut out. A mother of an intersex child has expressed concern that the federal government does not acknowledge the existence of children like hers. Further details on this issue are available from Rewire News Group, including the impact on mental health, such as suicidal ideation, among affected youth.
