Federal workers said in a new legal complaint in Jan. 1 that the Trump administration’s bar of insurance coverage for health care procedures and drugs aimed at helping a person transition to another gender is discriminatory.

The exclusion of so-called gender-affirming care “is discrimination on the basis of sex,” the workers said in the class-action complaint.
