Overview
- Glenna Goldis, an assistant attorney general in the Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau since 2022, was dismissed this week, the office confirmed.
- Goldis says she was terminated for publicly criticizing pediatric gender medicine and for taking legal positions she was told conflicted with Attorney General Letitia James.
- The Attorney General’s spokesperson said her conduct showed flagrant, repeated disregard for rules and protocols and disrupted the office’s work.
- Goldis says an ethics official warned her it was unethical to take public legal positions at odds with James, citing her blog’s reference to the holding in US v. Skrmetti.
- She has spoken against youth gender treatments and took part in a July FTC roundtable in a private capacity, while James has supported transgender care and sued to block President Trump’s 2025 order limiting federal support for such interventions.
