Trans News Friday: Oregon Picks Up the Tab
Last week we asked whether Oregon would keep paying for trans youth care when federal Medicaid money stops on October 13. Now we know: it will. This week also brought a federal appeals court win for trans Arizonans fixing their birth certificates, an Oklahoma ruling that slammed that same door, and $8.9 million from New York City for the clinics stepping in where big hospitals backed out. Here's what it all means for Portland, and what to do before Tuesday.
