Colorado Supreme Court orders children's hospital to resume gender-affirming care for transgender minors
Colorado's largest pediatric provider suspended gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender patients under 18 in January following a federal investigation by the Trump administration's HHS. The Colorado Supreme Court ordered the hospital to resume treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy after four transgender girls sued alleging violation of state antidiscrimination law. The hospital faces potential loss of federal funding if it complies with the court order.
