This is blatantly wrong on so many levels, and a straight up abuse of power.

As noted by Alejandra Caraballo, this regulation straight up just bans care for anyone with Autism. As this regulation requires "any existing mental health comorbidities of the patient have been treated and resolved." This also means that if you experience any form of depression (which, with gender dysphoria, you probably do) then the care is permanently banned until you're an adult.
Oh, and you also can't get care if you are experiencing "social cognition", which is a nice way of saying that a trans youth cannot know any trans friends.

Additionally, the "emergency regulation" is very ambiguous as some have noted, and could theoretically prevent healthcare for ALL trans people. The specific "guardrails" mention do not specify if they are for adults or for children in areas that they need to be specified in.
The regulations can be found here. As noted, they last up to potentially 180 days. Which could cause devastating consequences to anyone who is not able to get hormones that they need.
