Federal Judge in Oregon Invalidates HHS Declaration on Transgender Youth Care
A federal judge in Oregon ruled that the Department of Health and Human Services overstepped by declaring puberty blockers and gender surgeries unsafe and ineffective for youth with gender dysphoria. The decision targeted a December statement from Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, which failed to follow required administrative steps. The declaration threatened to bar doctors from federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid if they offered these treatments. Providers and families welcomed the news, saying it clears confusion and keeps transgender youth care legal nationwide. This marks the second big court loss for Kennedy and his department this week.
