Corona Sexual Health Clinic Excludes Trans Youth — Mamdani Adopts Trump-Era Age Cutoff

Mamdani health admin (Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin) confirmed the new Corona Sexual Health Clinic excludes patients under 19 from gender-affirming care — adopting the Trump-era age cutoff and triggering immediate progressive backlash. Coverage sustained through Jun 17 (LGBTQ Nation, Truthout, PinkNews, Erin in the Morning, Gothamist) without administration reversal. Martin told Council Mamdani is "weighing" how to expand to minors without inviting federal funding retaliation. The Jun 10 $15M LGBTQ+ Pride healthcare announcement read as a partial-pivot deflection but did not include trans-minor care.
