Trump calls Democrats as ‘crazy’ after they decline to cheer teen gender transition ban

President Trump criticized Democrats for opposing a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, citing a Virginia teen's case to urge immediate congressional action.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized Democrats for not standing during the State of the Union while invoking Virginia teenager Sage Blair to urge Congress to ban gender-affirming care for minors.
  • In Virginia, a lawsuit by Michele Blair, plaintiff and mother, against the Appomattox County School Board in 2023 remains ongoing, while Sage's Law is proposed to require parental notification and restrict social affirmation practices in schools.
  • Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Ron Wyden, urged CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz to retract regulations, warning `this policy would mark an unprecedented intrusion of partisan politics and ideology into medical decision-making`.
  • Hospitals and clinicians face unprecedented restrictions as the Senate Finance Committee warns the rules could exclude hospitals from Medicare and Medicaid, while advocacy groups say Trump's comments threaten transgender healthcare access.
  • The State of the Union also pressed immigration and tariff policies and announced a war on fraud to be led by Vice President J.D. Vance.
