The article discusses how the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has removed references to transgender individuals, particularly youth, from its website in response to threats of funding withdrawal from the Department of Justice.

Several crucial reports and guides that highlighted the experiences of transgender and homeless youth have been erased, further endangering these vulnerable populations.
