Federal Employees Complain About Trump’s Transgender Policy

A class action complaint has been filed by a group of federal employees against the Trump administration’s policy, effective January 1, 2026, which eliminates coverage for gender-affirming healthcare under federal health insurance. The complaint, issued by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, argues the policy is discriminatory and seeks its rescission along with economic damages. The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is named as a defendant, and if unresolved, plaintiffs may pursue claims before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Additionally, Democratic state attorneys general have sued to block related proposed rules affecting children’s access to gender-affirming care.
