NYC DOHMH announced Tue Jun 9 it will offer gender-affirming hormone therapy to adults 19+ at the Corona Sexual Health Clinic — explicitly excluding adolescents. Officials framed it as a balance between care access and avoiding federal backlash; advocates note the cutoff mirrors Trump's executive-order age line and contradicts Mamdani's campaign pledge of $65M for trans care across ages. The $65M was cut from FY27 in May.
