香港性别认同及性倾向小组在上一财政年度未开展任何宣传工作，引起了倡导团体的担忧。
政制及内地事务局证实，性别认同及性倾向小组在上一财政年度没有进行任何宣传活动。局方发言人表示，该小组“必须专注于多项重要任务”，并指出政府将继续探索有效的宣传方式。
该小组仅有两名行政主任，在2015年至2025年间共收到七宗有关性倾向的投诉。由于香港目前没有针对性倾向歧视的专门立法，该小组缺乏处理此类投诉的法定权力。
倡导团体和议员表示担忧，认为宣传投入的减少可能会使相关群体得不到足够的支援。平等机会委员会则根据《残疾歧视条例》，负责处理涉及性别不安的个案。

Trump has required the BOP to continue providing hormone therapy and certain accommodations while the case proceeds.
