New York Attorney General Letitia James has called on state healthcare providers to continue offering gender-affirming care, following a recent executive order by President Donald Trump. In a letter, James emphasized the importance of accessible and inclusive healthcare services, including transgender healthcare and LGBTQ+ rights. The move aims to ensure that individuals can still access essential medical services, such as hormone replacement therapy and mental health support. By doing so, James reaffirms New York's commitment to providing quality healthcare for all, regardless of gender identity. This decision also highlights the need for healthcare providers to prioritize patient-centered care and social determinants of health.
