>>In February 2025, Mamdani appeared at a rally in Union Square to protest an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that threatened to "withhold federal funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming treatments to trans youth".[86][87]

As part of his mayoral platform for NYC, Mamdani supports expanding and protecting gender-affirming care citywide. He proposes an immediate investment of $65 million for public providers to offer medical treatment and ensure hospital accountability. He also aims to establish NYC as an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city and establish the Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs to "expand and centralize the services, programs, and support that LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers need across housing, employment, and more."
