Today, in a victory for transgender people and their families, a federal judge has granted a request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the Trump Administration’s executive orders threatening federal funding for providers of gender-affirming medical care for people under 19. The preliminary injunction extends a temporary restraining order that was previously entered in the case and was set to expire March 5. “Today’s ruling is a crucial step in resisting the extremist agenda of the Trump administration and reaffirming that trans and non-binary people deserve dignity, respect, and access to the health care they need. This administration has tried to bully providers into abandoning their ethical obligations, but we will not back down. We will continue to fight for health professionals' freedom to do their jobs based on medical expertise—not political ideology—and for the right of every patient to receive care free from discrimination and fear,” said Alex Sheldon (they/them), Executive Director of GLMA.

关于我们
MISSION GLMA is a national organization committed to ensuring health equity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and all sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals, and equality for LGBTQ/SGM health professionals in their work and learning environments. To achieve this mission, GLMA utilizes the scientific expertise of its diverse multidisciplinary membership to inform and drive advocacy, education, and research. HISTORY GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ Equality (previously known as the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association) is the world's largest and oldest association of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) healthcare professionals and allies. GLMA was founded in 1981, as the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights, with the mission of ensuring equality in healthcare for LGBTQ individuals and healthcare professionals. Today, there is still considerable ignorance about LGBTQ health issues, with many assuming that LGBTQ health involves only HIV/AIDS. In fact, the full scope of the LGBTQ health agenda includes breast and cervical cancer, hepatitis, mental health, substance abuse, tobacco use, depression, access to care for transgender persons and other concerns. For nearly four decades, GLMA has tackled many initiatives and projects. Early on, GLMA focused on HIV/AIDS and the issues faced by physicians coming out at work. As the climate and culture have changed, GLMA has become a leader in public policy advocacy related to LGBTQ health.

"There’s an unbearable weight of seeing a young person in distress, knowing exactly what treatment would ease their suffering, and being absolutely powerless to provide it. One provider said it was like withholding CPR from someone struggling to breathe. We know the treatment is safe and effective, supported by decades of research, so providers are watching their patients’ pain deepen, knowing the pain is unnecessary." GLMA Executive Director Alex Sheldon breaks down the challenges providers are facing and GLMA’s role as plaintiff, alongside PFLAG National, in taking legal action against the Trump Administration's executive order that aims to restrict access to necessary medical care for transgender individuals under 19 nationwide.

The targeted attacks on the transgender and intersex communities are driven by misinformation and a blatant disregard for scientific evidence. There are proven health, social, and relational benefits of sports participation; and this week's EO is yet another attempt to exclude trans and intersex individuals from aspects of public life. Combatting the misinformation that drives these discriminatory policies is crucial to ensuring safety and inclusion for everyone in the athletic community.
