Word quickly spread under parents of Trans-Kinderen after NYU had canceled appointments for two 12-year-old children who were planned to undergo the procedure this week.
One of the children should have had a small device that would release a puberty blocking medication called Supprelin LA, implanted in the upper arm on Thursday.

The order threatens to hold federal dollars to care providers if they continue to offer transitional treatment to patients under the age of 19.
“They have escalated the attack on us, so we have to escalate that they are done,” Emma Lazarus, a resident of Brooklyn, told NY1 during Monday's demonstration.
“It's going to get on the street on the street.”
Trump signed the executive order that convicted the practice of sex transition operations for minors and noted that 'countless' children were sorry about the operations that' mutilated 'and held them imprisoned to wage a losing war with their own bodies'.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not finance, sponsor, help, help or support destructive and life -changing procedures,” read the executive order.
New York, together with 22 extra states, brought a federal lawsuit last week to prevent the government from freezing funds for care providers. A judge has temporarily blocked the government to continue with the executive order.
“If NYU, as a hospital, starts to turn back care for patients on the basis of a pen, an illegal implementation order from a president, that is an attack on every patient in the hospital, 'MJ Okma, a Manhattan Resident, said NY1.

Before he took office, Trump promised that on 'day one' of his administration that he would end the 'transgender madness' in the federal government.
“The left-wing gender madness that is pushed in our children is an act of child abuse,” said Trump in a campaign video swearing to “withdraw the cruel policy of Joe Biden about so-called gender-confirming care.”
The order applies to a person under the age of 19 and blocks any use of 'chemical and surgical' use of puberty blockers or other efforts to remove or change the physical appearance of a person to help them identify as the opposite sex of their birth.
Trump also ordered the Minister of Health and Human Services to assess and publish updated 'best practices' for children suffering from 'gender dysforie'.
