"US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, , who once likened gender-affirming care to 'mutilation,' is currently undergoing... gender-affirming care. The 71-year-old Republican is reportedly taking hormone replacement therapy medication despite his repeated criticism of the medical treatment, which is an often life-saving way to affirm trans people's gender identity. Since becoming US health secretary in February, Kennedy has falsely framed gender-affirming care as a form of "chemical and surgical mutilation" while enacting policies pressuring major healthcare providers to cease trans healthcare services."
"Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), is a medical treatment designed to supplement the body's natural testosterone production to reach desired levels. It is used by trans men and cisgender men with hypogonadism; low levels of testosterone. Alongside exercises and a strict health regime, Kennedy is currently undergoing the medical treatment in order to reach his desired form of masculinity - in other words, to affirm his gender identity."
