A leftist federal judge in Seattle, Washington claims that President Trump’s executive order banning transgender medicine for minors is really aimed at “the erasure of transgender individuals” and says it “blatantly discriminates against transgender youth.”

Therefore Judge Lauren King has issued a restraining order on the executive order, adding that it violates the separation of powers by refusing federal funds for medical institutions that perform transgender medicine on minors.

Here’s more from Courthouse News:

A federal judge in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order Friday on an executive move cutting federal funding from medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

“Congress appropriated millions of dollars meant for health care. Trump issued an executive order making funding contingent on recipients refusing gender-affirming care, which violates the separation of powers,” U.S. District Judge Lauren King said. “Although the executive order claims to protect children from irreversible medical treatment, the order is not limited to children or to irreversible treatments. The executive order is aimed at the erasure of transgender individuals, and blatantly discriminates against transgender youth.”

President Donald Trump signed the executive order on Jan. 28, just over a week after his second inauguration.

The state of Washington, joined by Minnesota, Oregon and three unnamed physicians, sued the Trump administration last Friday, arguing the order will jeopardize vital operations at medical research facilities.

Shocker, this judge is a Joe Biden appointee. I’m sure the Trump DOJ will quickly appeal this and get it overturned. Although on that side of the country with the 9th Circuit, it might take the Supreme Court to overturn this madness.
