Washington AG Nick Brown

By TJ MARTINELL | THE CENTER SQUARE

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown on Thursday filed a multi-state lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s executive order banning gender reassignment procedures, such as mastectomies and puberty blockers, on children.

Trump’s EO states that “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

Brown argued at a Feb. 7 news conference that the EO was not only “disgusting,” but it was illegal for violating the Fifth and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Brown also said that the EO “promotes harassment and discrimination against people that are already marginalized. It risks their literal health and safety, and that of their providers.”

Last year, nonprofit Do No Harm unveiled a database of gender reassignment procedures carried out nationwide, reporting that Seattle Children’s Hospital was among the top providers for procedures in the country. The Center Square also uncovered that the top surgical provider for underage gender reassignment surgeries had previously been fined $5 million by the AGO for deceptive business practices. 

Brown was joined by several individuals testifying in favor of youth gender reassignment procedures, with one person saying they “would rather die than go through male puberty” and that “this order will kill trans children if not stopped.”

Washington state has recently enacted numerous laws regarding underage gender reassignment procedures, including SB 5599 passed in 2023, which allows host homes and youth shelters to hide the whereabouts of children from their parents if the children claim to be seeking gender affirming care.

Washington state is joined by Washington state is joined in the lawsuit by Oregon and Minnesota, along with three unnamed physicians.

  1. There’s only one way to complete the transition of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon from U.S. States to non-U..S. States… naturally, they must be cut off.

  2. We must also sue for the constitutional right of 3-year olds to vote in elections and arm themselves with assault rifles despite their parent’s objections. Surely Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota will follow on to that logical extension.

  3. That’s all the Democrats have left………federal lawsuits in US District Courts, where most of the judges are lefty Democrats appointed by Obama, Biden and Clinton. Republicans own the executive branch, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court. And that’s why Trump is moving at lightening speed ……Trump Time.
    He wants to clean out the corruption in the US government, clean out financial waste, and clean out fraud. All the Democrats have left is ……lawfare against the Trump Administration. Donald Trump loves a good fight.
    .
    All of those Democrats driving Teslas are going to be buying gas powered Suburbs and Hondas, crying for lower gas prices, while they scream for climate action. Biggest fools on the planet.
