Summary

On February 16, 2025, Washington state Judge Lauren King issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s January 28 executive order that restricts transgender care for minors.

The judge ruled the order unconstitutional for overstepping presidential authority under separation of powers and violating the Equal Protection Clause.

The injunction follows lawsuits by Democratic attorneys general from Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and temporary blocks in Baltimore.

    It’s just going to fuck up our standing in the world of geopolitics

    It already has.

    Im still of the belief that our safety nets are gonna catch this one.

    I hope you’re correct, but we can’t rely on that.

    Individuals have to also take action, and keep pressure on the people who are supposed to be preventing these abuses.
