Washington AG sues Trump over youth gender transition ban—because priorities
With crime surging and homelessness out of control, Washington’s Attorney General is laser-focused on... suing Trump.
In yet another episode of “Washington Democrats vs. Reality”, Attorney General Nick Brown has decided that the most pressing issue facing our state is… suing Donald Trump.
Yes, you heard that right. While violent crime is up, drug overdoses are skyrocketing, and public safety is in the gutter, Brown is taking the federal government to court because Trump dared to sign an executive order banning gender transition procedures on minors.
Let’s break this down.
What’s in Trump’s executive order?
Trump’s executive order (EO) states:
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
Translation: No more federal funding for kids getting mastectomies, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormones.
Sounds pretty reasonable, right? Apparently not in Washington, where the state government has made "gender-affirming care" for minors one of its top priorities.
The lawsuit: Washington’s latest political stunt
At a Feb. 7 press conference, AG Brown called Trump’s order “disgusting” and declared it illegal under the Fifth and Tenth Amendments. He also claimed the EO:
✅ "Promotes harassment and discrimination" – because apparently, not funding gender reassignment surgery for kids = discrimination.
✅ "Risks their literal health and safety" – as if permanent medical interventions for minors aren’t risky themselves.
✅ "Will kill trans children if not stopped" – Yes, someone actually said this. Hyperbole much?
Joining Washington in this grandstanding lawsuit are Oregon and Minnesota, along with three unnamed physicians who apparently need taxpayer funding to continue their lucrative medical procedures on minors.
Washington’s long, strange obsession with gender transitioning kids
This lawsuit is just the latest move in Washington’s full-throttle push to prioritize gender transitions for minors—with or without parental involvement.
Remember SB 5599?
In 2023, Washington passed SB 5599, a shocking law that allows:
🚨 Youth shelters and host homes to hide runaway children from their parents if the child claims to be seeking "gender-affirming care" or reproductive services.
🚨 Parents to be completely cut out of the process—they won’t even be notified that their child is in a shelter.
🚨 State-approved facilities to take over decision-making power for these minors without parental consent.
Yes, Washington Democrats actually passed a law allowing the state to keep parents in the dark while their children undergo life-altering medical procedures.
Also, let’s not forget:
Seattle Children’s Hospital is among the top providers of gender transition procedures in the country. (Do NoHarm Report)
The top surgical provider for underage gender reassignment surgeries in Washington was fined $5 million for deceptive business practices.
The Washington State Legislature continues passing laws to make these procedures easier for minors to access—while simultaneously making it harder for parents to object.
But sure, let’s pretend this is just about protecting trans kids from Trump.
What this lawsuit is REALLY about
If you think this lawsuit is about constitutional law, I have a bridge to sell you.
This is about pure politics:
🚨 Democrats need Trump as a villain. He’s running for president again, and Washington Democrats need to keep the outrage machine running.
🚨 Washington’s AG wants headlines. Nick Brown is eyeing bigger political ambitions, and what better way to boost his profile than to sue Trump?
🚨 The medical industry stands to lose big money. Gender reassignment procedures—especially on minors—are a billion-dollar industry. Cutting off federal funds? That’s bad for business.
Meanwhile, Washington residents continue dealing with rampant crime, homelessness, and drug overdoses—but don’t worry, our AG is working hard… on suing Trump.
Where do we go from here?
If you’re tired of Washington’s leadership caring more about scoring political points than fixing real problems, here’s what you can do:
✅ Call Your Legislators – Demand they focus on public safety, homelessness, and education, not political stunts.
✅ Hold Elected Officials Accountable – Remind them they work for YOU, not their Twitter followers.
✅ Stay Informed – Subscribe to The Steelhead Alliance and help expose these absurd policies before they become law.
Washington Democrats are suing Trump instead of fixing crime, schools, and the economy.
Are you okay with that?
