A major California children’s hospital is facing a legal firestorm after pulling the plug on transgender care for minors, leaving families scrambling and triggering dueling lawsuits.
Four families are suing San Diego-based Rady Children’s Health, accusing the hospital of abruptly cutting off gender-affirming treatments and throwing nearly 2,000 young patients into limbo.
The fallout was immediate: canceled appointments, disrupted care and panicked parents racing to find new doctors.
And the families aren’t alone in taking legal action.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta reacts outside the U.S. Supreme Court.
