From California to Virginia, youth gender clinics are pausing or halting medicalized treatments—and the nation’s largest one has closed—in the wake of Trump administration policies.

These types of clinics were non-existent in the United States until one opened in Boston in 2007. Since then, dozens more sprang up. But at least 20 medical facilities will no longer be providing some of these services, according to a White House statement last month.
