The administration of Zohran Mamdani in New York City has just signed contracts worth upwards of $9 million with vendors who will provide ‘gender-affirming care’ to minors, including puberty-blocking drugs.
This issue seriously hurt Democrats in 2024, and they clearly do not care. They simply refuse to let go of it, no matter what the public thinks.
Their activist base won’t allow them to move on.
The New York Post reports:
The Mamdani administration is entering into two contracts totaling $8.9 million to provide “gender-affirming” sex reassignment care to transgender patients under the age of 18.
The move backs a policy the federal Department of Justice has challenged as medically dangerous and illegal.
The city Department of Health identified two vendors — Callen-Lorde and Nonprofit Organization for Philanthropic Initiatives — to provide the services in contracts that run from 2027-29.
“This includes the prescription and administration of puberty-blockers and hormone replacement therapy to all minor patients for whom such services are medically necessary based on the prevailing standards of care,” the DOH said in a public notice.
“Services will be performed by qualified medical providers with current New York State licensure, and will be provided consistent with state laws governing parental consent.”
Critics blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s team, claiming they are trying to circumvent the federal ban on gender care services for minors.
“They’re making an ideological decision instead of a medical decision,” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar.
Here are some Twitter/X reactions:
It’s outrageous, but the left just doesn’t care.
