Dolly Parton was beloved by many in the LGBTQIA+ community for her vocal support of q***r, transgender, gay, and le***an fans, including her stance against the transgender bathroom ban in Tennessee and her insistence that everyone be treated with respect.

“Every young person is entitled to the health care that they, their parents, and their medical providers agree that they need, without politicians interfering with these important and highly personal decisions."

The Trump administration is cutting off federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming care, forcing states to decide whether to cover the cost themselves.

"The Trump administration is walking back its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming care for youth nationally according to an official document obtained by NPR. The document shows that the Department of Health and Human Services likely will not be finalizing a proposed rule that would have blocked all Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care...

Even so, gender-affirming care for youth is banned in 27 states after a flurry of laws passed over the last several years. In the remaining 23 states, many hospital clinics that offer gender-affirming care have continued to operate, while others have shuttered in the past year citing pressure from the Trump administration."

A huge thank you to advocates pushing for transgender rights! The fight continues 🏳️‍⚧️

NPR has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be pushing its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming care for youth nationally.
