The lawsuit accuses Rady of discrimination for ending care to about 1,900 transgender minors, risking canceled treatments and emotional harm, with a judge blocking the shutdown.
- On Thursday, a class-action complaint was unsealed in San Diego County Superior Court by four San Diego-area families, and a judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking Rady Children's Health from terminating care for roughly 1,900 patients.
- On January 20, Rady Children's Health announced it would end gender-affirming care, citing recent federal actions and Medicare and Medicaid funding threats by the Trump administration.
- Medical groups note the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics recognize gender dysphoria as serious, while California law bars discrimination and doctors warn interrupted care risks depression and suicidality.

- Plaintiffs say their class now faces canceled appointments and long travel for care, advocates warn that hospitals complying with unlawful federal threats set a dangerous precedent, and other California hospitals have already limited youth gender-affirming care amid federal investigations.
