Actress Cynthia Nixon joins hundreds protesting NYU-Langone after the hospital cancels children's appointments for puberty blockers following a Trump administration executive order
Actress Cynthia Nixon took to the streets of New York City on Monday, joining hundreds of protesters outside NYU-Langone hospital. The demonstration was sparked by the hospital's cancellation of at least two children's appointments for puberty blockers , following President Trump's Trans Care executive order. Nixon, known for her role in the hit series Sex and the City, passionately addressed the crowd, emphasizing her personal connection to the issue.
She proudly shared that her son, her sister's children, and her best friend's child are all transgender, highlighting the prevalence of trans individuals in her life. Nixon recounted her son Samuel's experience with top surgery, performed at NYU several years ago. She praised the medical team's exceptional care and expressed her deep disappointment and anger at the hospital's abrupt change in policy. She stated, 'The idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they can receive the highest care - and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core.'The cancellation of appointments for two 12-year-old children seeking puberty blockers ignited the outcry. One child's procedure, involving the implantation of a device releasing the medication Supprelin LA, was scheduled for Thursday, but the doctor attributed the cancellation to 'the new administration.' The second child's appointment, for the same procedure, was scheduled for Friday and the mother was informed only a day before. The rally was organized in response to President Trump's recent executive order banning federal funding for gender-affirming care for transgender minors. Nixon, addressing the crowd, declared, 'New York is better than this, NYU should be better than this. Shame, and thank you all for being here - we must return again and again until this crime is reversed.' The incident has sparked widespread concern among parents and advocates, who emphasize the detrimental impact denying this care can have on transgender youth.
