This episode contains strong language.

Since 2021, nearly half the states in the U.S. have passed bans
on medical treatments for transgender minors. The Trump
administration is now targeting the care, and in the coming
weeks, the Supreme Court is expected to weigh in.

Against that backdrop, “The Daily” is running the first episode
of a six-part series from NYT Audio about the story of youth
gender medicine — where it came from, whom it was meant to help,
and what may come next in the legal and political fights over its
future.

It starts in the Netherlands, with a clinical psychologist and a
16 year-old who was determined to go through life as the gender
he had long felt he was.

Guests: Azeen Ghorayshi is a reporter for The
New York Times covering the intersection of sex, gender and
science. Austin Mitchell is a supervising audio
producer for The New York Times.

You can find all six episodes of “The Protocol,” along with
additional reading material, at nytimes.com/theprotocol.
