The Biden administration has announced that it will lift the limits on access to health treatment for transgender and gay people, restrictions that were introduced under Donald Trump’s presidency.
The Department of Health also reiterated that measures will be taken to ban any kind of discrimination related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
