Mamdani Proposes $65M Plan for Trans Medical Care — Including Minors — If Elected NYC Mayor

  • Queens assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has put forward a proposal to allocate $65 million in public funds to enhance access to gender-affirming medical treatments, including services for minors, in New York City if he is elected mayor.
  • Mamdani's plan responds to escalating federal pressure, including a late January 2025 Trump administration executive order threatening to withhold funds from hospitals providing gender-transition care to patients under 19.
  • The proposal allocates $57 million to public hospitals and community providers, creates an Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, and promises to hold hospitals accountable under state laws that deny care to transgender youth.
  • Dr. Birnbaum pledged to continue offering gender-care services to youth despite legal risks, saying he would do so "until carried out in handcuffs," while advocates stress the need for strong legal defense to protect funding.
  • Mamdani’s plan highlights ongoing clashes over transgender care and signals efforts to counter federal restrictions amid a competitive mayoral primary against Andrew Cuomo.
