Colorado's Supreme Court has heard testimony from the families of transgender children who are suing Children’s Hospital Colorado to reinstate gender-affirming care. The hospital and Denver Health both suspended hormone treatments to minors in January following a threat from the Trump administration to halt payments from federal health insurance programs to hospitals that offer such care as neither safe nor effective. The parents of four transgender girls argued that the hospital's decision to halt care to a population based on their gender identity constitutes discrimination under Colorado law. A lower court judge found that the potential harm from losing federal funding outweighed the damage to the plaintiffs. However, the plaintiffs appealed this ruling to the state Supreme Court.
