Fifteen states, a governor, and the District of Columbia sued President Donald Trump on Aug. 1 over his executive order targeting breast removal and other gender transition procedures for minors.

Massachusetts and the other plaintiffs said in the lawsuit that Trump’s order and resulting actions by the Department of Justice (DOJ) illegally target people who identify as transgender, as well as people who provide care for those individuals.
