Trump administration must restore health articles scrubbed for transgender mentions, judge rules
- On Friday, a federal judge in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction requiring the Trump administration to reinstate medical research articles that had been removed from a government website.
- The removal followed a January executive order requiring elimination of messages promoting gender ideology, targeting articles mentioning transgender people, which plaintiffs argued violated their First Amendment rights.
- Two Harvard Medical School physicians authored articles focusing on patient safety concerns, including diagnostic challenges affecting transgender and LGBTQ+ individuals, which were removed from a federal database dedicated to sharing medical safety information before a court ordered their reinstatement.
- Judge Sorokin described the removals as arbitrary viewpoint discrimination, stating the plaintiffs demonstrated a likely success and that irreparable harm and public interest favor restoring the content within seven days.
- The ruling affirms that the government cannot exclude medical information based on ideological reasons, upholding legal safeguards against viewpoint discrimination in public discourse and protecting both free expression and the integrity of scientific information.
