A judge in Washington state has issued a temporary restraining order over President Trump's executive order that withholds federal funding to health care providers who prescribe youth puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or who perform surgeries for gender dysphoria.&nbsp;

Judge Lauren King, in the Western Washington District Court, issued the order on Friday.&nbsp;
