Denver Health in Colorado has stopped providing transgender surgeries such as breast removal for people under the age of 19, a spokesperson said, in order to comply with the executive order and continue receiving federal funding. It's not clear whether the hospital will continue providing other transgender procedures and medicine for youth, such as puberty blockers.

In Virginia, VCU Health and Children's Hospital of Richmond said it has suspended transgender medication and surgical procedures for those under 19 years old.

Children's National Hospital in Washington said the hospital had "paused prescriptions of puberty blockers and hormone therapy to comply with the directives while we assess the situation further."

The hospital already did not perform transgender surgeries on minors, according to a spokesperson.

Trump on Tuesday signed an order titled "Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation."
