"This report not only rejects health care best practices for transgender people, it goes a step further by recommending conversion therapy, though under a new, rebranded name, exploratory therapy."
"Despite the report's claims, this is, in fact, the same harmful practice of conversion therapy, just using friendlier language."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a report discrediting gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary youth, instead advocating for exploratory therapy as a sole treatment for gender dysphoria. Critics, including LGBTQ+ advocates, argue that this approach amounts to a form of conversion therapy, despite the HHS's claims that it differs from traditional methods. The report, released under a Trump Administration mandate, also threatens to withhold federal funding from institutions providing gender-affirming care, highlighting the ongoing debate over the treatment of transgender youth within the healthcare system.
