The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Here's a fun fact: most professors only get paid for 9 months of the year, and if you want to get paid for the rest, you have to get grants and fund it out of those yourself. So the functional ban on trans people getting grants is also functionally a huge pay cut for all trans academics! Fun!
