Families angry that Baystate Health still not providing gender care, despite legal developments
In February 2026, Baystate announced it was ending most of its gender affirming care for minors, other than counseling, saying it could not risk losing millions of dollars in federal reimbursement. Since then, the legal landscape has evolved. But Baystate has not restarted gender affirming care.

So damn proud of these kids for their courage. 💥 Hundreds of Milford, MA high schoolers walked out in protest today after ICE detained their classmate Marcelo Gomes Da Silva. Detained on his way to volleyball practice. Illegally.
