A Minnesota hospital announced on Monday that it will resume prescribing sex-change drugs to minors.
Children’s Minnesota paused giving sex-change drugs to minors in February, citing pressure from the Trump administration. The move came after the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a proposed regulatory action in December that would bar hospitals from providing mutilating sex-rejecting drugs and surgeries to minors as a condition of participating in Medicare and Medicaid.
Hospital officials said they are resuming the “Gender Health Program” after a federal court ruling vacated the HHS’s declaration, CBS News reported.
“Offering science- and research-based health care to transgender and gender diverse youth is part of Children’s Minnesota’s vision of being every family’s essential partner in raising healthier children,” Children’s Minnesota said in a statement.
The hospital also said it will be contacting patients’ families that were impacted by the pause.
