California's protections for transgender care could be tested under Trump

President-elect Trump has vowed to block federal funds for gender-affirming care.

California leaders have sought to protect access to such procedures for transgender people.

Trump has called gender transition for minors a form of child abuse.

Advocates say transgender people are a small share of the population — estimated at 0.6% of U.S. teens and adults.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that transgender youth have access to comprehensive gender-affirming care.

During the campaign, Trump said he would seek to terminate any healthcare provider that "participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth" from Medicaid and Medicare .

Experts say the White House could also seek a federal determination that such care is dangerous or experimental.
