Trump administration sued for banning gender transition treatments in federal health plans

An arm of the Human Rights Campaign launched a class-action lawsuit on Monday challenging the Trump administration’s gender-affirming care coverage ban in federal workers’ health insurance plans.

The lawsuit claims the ban violates the federal prohibition on sex discrimination in the workplace.

“Our message to the Trump administration is simple: We’ll see you in court,” Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.

“Healthcare access should never be weaponized to advance discrimination — and the denial of coverage for critical healthcare based simply on who you are blatantly violates the rights of all of us,” Robinson continued.
