A major New York hospital system has announced it will no longer provide gender-affirming care for minors, sparking outrage among advocates and activists. Protesters gathered outside the facility, with one prominent transgender actor condemning the decision as "bigoted politics" and questioning the direction of societal values. The move comes amid growing national debates over healthcare access for transgender youth and the role of institutions in shaping policy. Critics argue the change reflects a broader trend of restrictions on medical support for young transgender patients.


After NYU Langone Hospital agreed to end gender care for minors, Trans actor Elliot Page joined protesters calling it "bigoted politicis" and asking, "is this the kind of country we want to live in?"
