Several colleagues also display the flag, she said, adding that many Republicans in Congress oppose medical transition for minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pelosi tied her stance to a lawsuit filed earlier this month by officials from more than a dozen Democratic-led states. The suit challenges the Trump administration\u2019s Jan. 28 executive order banning government support for sex change procedures and treatments for those under 19, along with memos directing federal prosecutors to investigate providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, names President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the Justice Department as defendants.
