  • "Where, as here, government action is motivated by purposeful discrimination, it violates the Fifth Amendment's equal protection guarantee." The post 'Baldfaced stigmatization': Judge blocks Trump admin from enforcing transgender medical care and 'gender ideology' orders,

The article discusses a federal judge's decision to block a Trump administration rule that would have allowed healthcare providers to refuse transgender medical care and gender ideology orders based on religious or moral objections. U.S. District Judge Frederic Block in Brooklyn issued a preliminary injunction against the rule, criticizing it for its "bald-faced stigmatization" of transgender individuals. The rule, part of a broader initiative to protect religious freedoms, was challenged by the state of New York and several advocacy groups. Judge Block's ruling highlighted the discriminatory nature of the rule, pointing out that it would disproportionately affect transgender individuals by potentially denying them necessary medical care. He also ridiculed the government's argument for citing Canadian law, which he deemed irrelevant to U.S. legal standards. This injunction prevents the enforcement of the rule while the case continues, ensuring that transgender individuals can still access healthcare without discrimination based on the providers' religious or moral beliefs.
