NYU Langone Health CEO, and dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Robert Grossman, made the decision to end care for trans youth without public notice, activists say, following Donald Trump’s January 28 executive order banning trans healthcare for youth. The parents of transgender youth got word out after their children’s appointments were canceled.
Within 36 hours, trans advocates and families – with help from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – helped to organize several hundred protestors outside of NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital in Manhattan.
