Colorado was long considered a haven for gender-affirming care. But under this Trump administration, hospitals in the state have limited the treatments available for people under 19. Some services have been restored, but trans youth and their families say the state isn’t the rock they thought it was.

    Imagine spending all that time and energy to move to a blue state just to live your life only for the cowardly health organizations to comply with moronic Trump’s demands.

      You’re describing the last 2 years of my life.

      It’s miles better than Texas but it looks like I didn’t run far enough.

        Tbh I don’t think anywhere in the US is far enough to run to. The Feds can and are going to do a lot of damage because the medical system in this country is all about numbers and trans folks are just decimals to them. Scraping off decimals is like the trolley situation but in real time.

          Damn, that reminds me. I should ask my doctor to wipe my records before the feds requisition then.

              No clue, since my insurance and the pharmacy would have that info too…, but my doc works with a university clinic and HIPAA seems like another law that will get ignored whenever the white house finds it convenient.

    makes me wonder if the state AG will threaten the hospitals for violating the law like they had to do in NY to get them to provide care again

      You can call your AG regularly and be an annoying and persistant problem for their staff until they do something.

        if I lived in Colorado, but my AG is actively and enthusiastically participating in the erasure of trans people, so I will not be interacting with them at all
