SAFE HAVEN FOR GENDER AFFIRMING CARE
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has signed an executive order protecting people seeking or receiving gender-affirming care in Minneapolis. During a time when many states are restricting or criminalizing access to this kind of care, this executive order supports people’s access to all services, supplies, drug therapies, and other care that an individual may receive to support and affirm their gender identity.
Executive Order 2022-04 prohibits all city departments and city staff from taking any enforcement action against providers or individuals exercising their right to gender-affirming health care in Minneapolis. The executive order also affirms the right of minors living apart from their parents to make their own medical decision regarding gender-affirming health care, pursuant to Minnesota state law.
