Actress Cynthia Nixon joined a protest in New York City against NYU Langone Health's cancellation of appointments for transgender children seeking puberty blockers, following President Trump's Trans Care executive order. Nixon spoke passionately about the importance of gender-affirming healthcare and the devastating impact the cancellations have on families.
Actress Cynthia Nixon rallied against the recent cancellation of appointments for transgender children seeking puberty blockers at NYU Langone Health, a prominent hospital system in New York City. Nixon joined hundreds of protesters who gathered in St. Vartan Park on Monday, decrying the hospital's decision following President Trump's Trans Care executive order. The former Sex and the City star, 58, took to the stage to express her outrage and support for the trans community.
Nixon shared personal anecdotes about her own son, Samuel, and her nephew, both proud transgender individuals who have received care at NYU. She emphasized the importance of access to gender-affirming healthcare for young people, stating, 'His doctors were fantastic. His surgeon was the best we could've imagined. And 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.' Nixon's impassioned speech highlighted the fear and anxiety gripping parents of transgender children whose access to crucial medical care is now uncertain. The recent cancellations at NYU Langone Health sparked widespread concern among the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. The hospital, known for its long-standing commitment to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has faced criticism for bowing to pressure from the executive order. Nixon urged the hospital to stand by its values and patients, stating, '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 protest served as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for transgender rights and the importance of ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all individuals
