Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (R.K. Kennedy) has been hit by court challenges, including restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors and childhood vaccine recommendations. A federal judge in Oregon ruled Kennedy had overstepped his legal authority when he declared that providers of gender-transition medical treatments for minors ‘do not meet professionally recognized standards’ and suggested that hospitals, clinics, and providers that continue to offer gender-Affirming care to minors would be investigated and possibly barred from receiving Medicaid and Medicare funds. The ruling is pending. For now, health care services for transgender minors remain legal.
