The protest came days after NYU Langone agreed to pay $8.5M and stop providing cross-sex procedures to children.

After a second Manhattan health system struck a deal with the Trump administration to end sex-change treatments for minors, a group of transgender activists injected themselves with cross-sex hormones outside of New York University’s Langone Health hospital.
The video of the incident is spreading fast online, according to a story by Fox News.
As part of a deal, NYU Langone Health will pay $8.5 million to end a Justice Department probe that had focused on the hospital’s Transgender Youth Health Program.
“We’re taking our HRT here at the doors of the people who have given up to demystify, normalize, and celebrate our trans bodies in the face of NYU’s cowardice,” a person holding a bullhorn and reading off a script says in the video, referencing hormone replacement therapy drugs.
Some donning masks outside, the people in the video can be seen filling syringes and injecting themselves, including a person in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, a group of supporters, some holding signs saying “Protect Trans Kids” and “Resist,” looked on as the stunt was performed. Other protesters held a hand-made banner reading “No compliance with Trump’s bias.”

The video, which was posted to X by Freedom News TV, drew harsh reactions from shocked online viewers.
“This is so obviously a mental illness,” said online commentator Matt Van Swol. “You cannot watch this video and conclude anything else.”
“This is a truly crazed movement that has successfully normalized cultish pseudo-medical practices from the outermost fringe of human extremity as a part of suburban elementary school life across America,” said author Wesley Yang. “Surely everyone watching these bizarre spectacles understands this.”
“I see addicts. Addicted to HRT. Addicted to attention. Addicted to constant validation,” said Tanya Tay Posobiec.
