Mount Sinai discontinues youth gender care
The Mount Sinai health system has agreed to cease providing gender-affirming care for minors, pay a fine, and spend $2 million on detransition care following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. This move aligns with the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict gender-affirming treatments for adolescents nationwide. Mount Sinai’s settlement comes after federal probes into its provision of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery for minors, which the government opposes based on its stance that sex cannot be changed. The healthcare provider emphasized it did not admit wrongdoing, and other institutions have faced similar pressures from federal authorities.
