Gender Affirming Care

On August 1, 2025, a coalition of 17 attorneys general and one governor filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts challenging the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict access to necessary healthcare for transgender youth. The coalition argues that these actions violate the Constitution, exceed federal authority, and undermine state laws that require equal access to medical treatment. In Rhode Island, laws protect patients from discrimination based on gender identity, and health care providers are required to treat all patients fairly and without bias.
