https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-new-yorkers-deserve-better>In recent months, hospitals across the country have shuttered gender-affirming care programs out of fear of the Trump administration—often in direct conflict with state law. Some officials have pushed back. In California, Attorney General Rob Bonta sued Rady Children's Hospital for capitulating to federal threats, resulting in care being restored there. Others, like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, campaigned on sweeping promises to protect transgender residents when precisely this kind of pressure campaign arrived. Yet last week, NYU Langone ended its gender-affirming care program for transgender youth. Days later, Mount Sinai followed. Despite urgent calls from transgender patients, advocates, and journalists—including from Erin in the Morning—the mayor has remained largely silent, taking no immediate public steps to ensure continuity of care or fulfill the commitments he made on the campaign trail.>The closures have left transgender families in the New York City area scrambling. NYU Langone's Transgender Youth Health Program was one of the region's most prominent centers for youth gender-affirming care, and its sudden shutdown displaced families mid-treatment. Days later, parents reported that Mount Sinai had gone even further, cutting off not just new patients but existing ones as well. Both hospitals acted in anticipation of proposed federal rules from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that would strip Medicare and Medicaid funding from hospitals providing gender-affirming care to minors, as well as Department of Justice subpoenas targeting providers. But those rules have not been finalized—the public comment period closed on February 17, and final rules are not expected until spring at the earliest.
>>42787538seems like he made big promises in order to appeal to his constituents then he abandons his so-called ideals when he doesn't need the support. hmmm curious. i wonder if this has ever happened before?
>>42787538Trans healthcare can be made de facto illegal by just having insurance not cover it. To protect trans healthcare would require a concerted national and state level effort by democrats. Which I don't see happening, because trans people not just being spicy crossdressers but actual people that need medical care is ideologically inconvenient to dems. It suggests brain sex, biological basis for gender roles, etc. which are toxic to american political discourse.
>>42787645I told everybody on here who would listen that this guy was just De Blasio 2.0. Idk why people bought into a guy promising so much without any explanation on how he'd do it
>>42788037in burgerland not covering it would prob improve access. There’s way less regulation on aesthetic procedures
>>42788070I would agree if I could buy HRT otc and get blood work. But people in NY can't even self-order a lot of blood work without a prescription, I think it being aesthetic would also leave anyone <18 out to dry.
You tellin me a city mayor can't just dix everything? I was told otherwise
>>42788068i don't blame people for having hope, but blind optimism is plain stupid especially in our world
waow (BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED BASED)t. NYC chaser that likes trannies but loves it when they're inconvenienced even more
>>42787538Socialists have ALWAYS paid lip service to out groups while never actually lifting a finger to help them. Anyone who is surprised by this is just ignorant of history. The left needs a return to classic liberalism with a sensible economic policy.
>>42787538please zohran… trannypill donald. if there’s anyone in america who can do it it’s you. make him see the female beauty of passoids
>>42788561you are so pathetic. all of you hate women whether cis or trans and get off on our vulnerability. im glad you lose every decade
>>42788068Do you honestly think Cuomo would have been better?
>>42787538still better than cuomo who promises nothing and delivers even less
>>42787538So, the solution is to have the city of NY to sue the hospitals so they're stuck between a rock and a hard place?
>>42787645WOW A JEET LIED, SCAMMED AND CONNED HIS WAY TO POSITIONS OF POWER WITH NO REAL BELIEFS IN ANYTHING HE SAYS OTHER THAN POSITIONING HIMSELF IN WHAT HE SEES AS CASTE SYSTEM??? WHO COULD OF SAW THIS HAPPENING?!?! Vivek, kamala, that white passing indian bitch, mamdani, ro, theyre all the same. Theyll say anything to gain power, money and status. Scamming (and rape) is as genetic to them as poo eating and street shitting.
>>42788561Huh? I don’t know what’s likable about that? She’s just gonna be stressed out about getting her medication
>>42787538what were you expecting?
>>42787538I like the way he's handling the snow in NYC at least. Tbf, there's only so much he can do as a mayor about this kind of stuff, he's not the governor. He's also not the kind of guy to pick fights he knows he can't win given he knows how big of a target he has on his back right now.
>>42788398I wouldn't believe it if i hadn't seen it myself
>>42787538>>42788068>>42787645>>42790498>>42792759this is why we'll never actually get anything better, sympathetic and impotent candidates will always be shunned when they don't bribe the untermenschen to the detriment of all other functioning social systems as soon as they have even a sniff of power. These things weren't decided last year, it's taken decades to get to this desperation and disenfranchisement, and the solutions won't come in three months.
