President Trump signed an executive order to restrict federal funding for gender-affirming care, labeling it harmful for minors and young adults. The order titled "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation" bans puberty blockers and surgeries for those under 19. It instructs federal agencies to withdraw support from such treatments, review medical guidelines, and enforce stricter laws against providers. The order criticizes established medical standards as lacking in integrity and mandates investigations into deceptive practices, also cutting coverage for gender-affirming care in military healthcare programs.
"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions."
"This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation's history, and it must end."
