This Executive Order seeking to ban gender affirming care for minors across the country cannot get lost in this week's blur and bluster. Excellent first take by Erin Reed, whose substack account I highly commend.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
