URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – New York City’s Mamdani administration is about to spend $8.9 million on “gender-affirming” care for kids, and anyone wondering whether Democrats learned a thing from 2024 now has their answer.
The city Department of Health has lined up two vendors, Callen-Lorde and Nonprofit Organization for Philanthropic Initiatives, under two contracts totaling $8.9 million. They would provide sex-transition treatment to transgender patients under the age of 18, and the contracts run from 2027-29.
In a public notice, the department spelled out what taxpayers would be buying.
“This includes the prescription and administration of puberty-blockers and hormone replacement therapy to all minor patients for whom such services are medically necessary based on the prevailing standards of care,” the DOH said.
The notice added that “Services will be performed by qualified medical providers with current New York State licensure, and will be provided consistent with state laws governing parental consent.”
The federal Department of Justice has challenged this kind of care for minors as medically dangerous and illegal. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s team is plowing ahead anyway, which looks less like governing and more like a dare.
It’s also a head-scratcher politically. Gender policy for minors was one of the issues that hurt Democrats badly in 2024, and Republicans made the most of it. A party with any sense of self-preservation would quietly change the subject. Instead, the city is signing eight-figure contracts. Voters have made their feelings known, and the left has simply decided it doesn’t care. Apparently the activist base holds the steering wheel, and the party isn’t allowed to move on, no matter what the public thinks.
Critics didn’t hold back. They accuse Mamdani’s team of trying to get around the federal ban on gender care services for minors. State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar summed up the objection in one line. “They’re making an ideological decision instead of a medical decision,” he said.
More proof that chemically and surgically mutilating children is a profitable business. It's all about $$$. https://t.co/mC4rBZXYhJ

Call it what you like, but handing children puberty blockers and hormones on the taxpayer’s dime strikes plenty of Americans as outrageous. Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who took office as mayor in January, isn’t interested in splitting the difference. New Yorkers will get to see how that works out, one contract at a time.
