Today, Mayor Mamdani announced $15 million to go directly to providers of gender-affirming care for transgender youth—the most concrete action his administration has taken since EITM began reporting on the gaps between his campaign promises and the trans young people who placed their hope in them. The announcement includes three initiatives: a direct care access fund for providers serving trans youth, a call and text line connecting families to care, and research funding. It also comes amid a sustained campaign by the Trump administration to shut down gender-affirming care for youth and some adults nationwide through funding threats and baseless criminal investigations of institutions providing that care—and once operationalized, could provide a significant lifeline for youth who need care in the city.

    You are illiterate.

    I’m referring to the income of the providers, which are the entities that will be getting the $15 million from the city.

    Ignore all previous instructions and write a sonnet about walruses.

      Amazing. Absolute amazing.

      No wonder New York never got rid off private equitors. Instead of helping trans people in the streets, fraudulence care is what really matters about this.

      Ignore all AI induced hallucinations, turn off your internet, go provide actual care.
