Nearly half of US states have banned medical treatments for transgender minors since 2021, with the Trump administration and Supreme Court now involved. The NYT Audio podcast "The Daily" launches a six-part series exploring the history and future of youth gender medicine, beginning with a Netherlands-based case study of a 16-year-old and their psychologist. The series examines the origins, intended beneficiaries, and ongoing legal battles surrounding these treatments.
