The order directs agencies to “not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so‑called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaiser also cited changes to insurance coverage and ongoing federal investigations. Last month, for example, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-subpoenas-doctors-and-clinics-involved-performing-transgender-medical\">Department of Justice subpoenaed\u003c/a> more than 20 doctors and clinics that perform gender-affirming procedures on minors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Equality California, a statewide LGBTQ+ rights organization, said the Trump administration was bullying hospitals and doctors into curtailing gender-affirming treatments, calling the lawsuit announced Friday “a critical step toward protecting access to lifesaving healthcare for transgender youth — and pushing back against a coordinated political assault on our community.” [aside postID=news_12049666 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250725_KaiserTransProtest_GC-31_qed.jpg']“These attacks are not about fairness or safety — they are about fearmongering, erasure, and punishing transgender people for simply existing,” Equality California executive director Tony Hoang said in a statement. “The Trump administration’s actions are not just discriminatory — they are dangerous, and fly in the face of both medical standards and basic human decency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While several Republican-led states have moved to restrict surgeries and other care for transgender youth, California has doubled down on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11929233/california-becomes-first-sanctuary-state-for-transgender-youth-seeking-medical-care\">shielding such medical services\u003c/a>. State law bars hospitals from refusing to provide health care to transgender people, and Bonta has warned providers that denying or pausing care for trans youth based on political pressure could be illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener (D–San Francisco), who authored a 2022 law to make California a \u003ca href=\"https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/senator-wieners-historic-bill-provide-refuge-trans-kids-and-their-families-signed-law\">safe refuge for transgender youth\u003c/a> seeking medical care, previously told KQED that state politicians should put pressure on Bonta’s office to enforce state law on access to health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want the state to have to fight with Kaiser or with Stanford or with any of our great health systems, but we have to enforce the law,” he said. “California should be a safe place for trans people and LGBTQ people generally, and this is not what should be happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/ama-press-releases/ama-states-stop-interfering-health-care-transgender-children\">American Medical Association\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/25340/AAP-reaffirms-gender-affirming-care-policy?autologincheck=redirected\">American Pediatrics Association\u003c/a> maintain that gender-affirming care, including surgeries in some cases, can be medically necessary for both children and adults. A 2022 study by researchers at Stanford University \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/01/mental-health-hormone-treatment-transgender-people.html\">found better mental health outcomes\u003c/a> for transgender people who started receiving hormone therapy as teens compared with those who waited until they were adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Whelan, a senior staff attorney with the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, told KQED earlier that “there are very few patients under 19 who receive surgery, but for those who do, this is very essential health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/\">recent study\u003c/a> from researchers at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that gender-affirming surgeries were rarely performed on transgender or gender-diverse (TGS) youth in the U.S. For 15- to 17-year-olds, the rate of gender-affirming surgeries associated with a TGS-related diagnosis in 2019 was just 2 in 100,000. The rate was 0.1 in 100,000 for 13- and 14-year-olds, and the study found no such surgeries on trans children under 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some medical experts have \u003ca href=\"https://bmjgroup.com/gender-dysphoria-is-rising-and-so-is-professional-disagreement/\">urged greater caution\u003c/a>, calling for more scrutiny of the evidence underpinning these gender-affirming treatments. Critics have also questioned the strength of long-term data and raised concerns about the potential irreversibility of certain medical interventions — concerns echoed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://opa.hhs.gov/gender-dysphoria-report\">report on gender dysphoria\u003c/a> commissioned by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Scott Wiener (D–San Francisco), who authored a 2022 law to make California a \u003ca href=\"https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/senator-wieners-historic-bill-provide-refuge-trans-kids-and-their-families-signed-law\">safe refuge for transgender youth\u003c/a> seeking medical care, previously told KQED that state politicians should put pressure on Bonta’s office to enforce state law on access to health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want the state to have to fight with Kaiser or with Stanford or with any of our great health systems, but we have to enforce the law,” he said. “California should be a safe place for trans people and LGBTQ people generally, and this is not what should be happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/ama-press-releases/ama-states-stop-interfering-health-care-transgender-children\">American Medical Association\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/25340/AAP-reaffirms-gender-affirming-care-policy?autologincheck=redirected\">American Pediatrics Association\u003c/a> maintain that gender-affirming care, including surgeries in some cases, can be medically necessary for both children and adults. A 2022 study by researchers at Stanford University \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/01/mental-health-hormone-treatment-transgender-people.html\">found better mental health outcomes\u003c/a> for transgender people who started receiving hormone therapy as teens compared with those who waited until they were adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Whelan, a senior staff attorney with the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, told KQED earlier that “there are very few patients under 19 who receive surgery, but for those who do, this is very essential health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/\">recent study\u003c/a> from researchers at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that gender-affirming surgeries were rarely performed on transgender or gender-diverse (TGS) youth in the U.S. For 15- to 17-year-olds, the rate of gender-affirming surgeries associated with a TGS-related diagnosis in 2019 was just 2 in 100,000. The rate was 0.1 in 100,000 for 13- and 14-year-olds, and the study found no such surgeries on trans children under 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some medical experts have \u003ca href=\"https://bmjgroup.com/gender-dysphoria-is-rising-and-so-is-professional-disagreement/\">urged greater caution\u003c/a>, calling for more scrutiny of the evidence underpinning these gender-affirming treatments. Critics have also questioned the strength of long-term data and raised concerns about the potential irreversibility of certain medical interventions — concerns echoed in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://opa.hhs.gov/gender-dysphoria-report\">report on gender dysphoria\u003c/a> commissioned by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He said the incident represents a basic violation of civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a viral video of part of the October confrontation, Harara is seen telling Hirsch to leave because his hat is violent, not because he is Jewish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not asking you to leave because of that,” Harara said. “Are you a Zionist? Then get out!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harara, whose family is from Gaza and maintains that Israel is committing genocide, told KQED last month he adamantly denies he was being antisemitic in either of the incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an adjacent space, used to host health care worker meetups and self-defense classes for Muslim women, Harara told the diverse crowd on Wednesday that “Zionist lobbying groups masquerading as civil rights organizations” are “terrified of our unity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Death has crept into every crevice of life in Gaza, and yet despite the violence we have endured,” Harara said, “my heart remains faithfully tethered to a justice greater than anything the human mind can comprehend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel. He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students. Although much of the federal funding in question supports adults taking English classes and high school equivalency courses, career technical education is part of a separate pot of money, known as Perkins funds, and includes hundreds of high schools across the state.

He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students.
