President Trump issued an executive order targeting puberty blockers and gender-affirming care for transgender youth, labeling these medical procedures as 'chemical and surgical mutilation.' The order stipulates that federal funds will not support gender transition treatments for individuals under 19, impacting research and education grants. Additionally, it aims to implement federal rules to exclude such care from military insurance. This action has been criticized as governmental overreach and an attempt to deny necessary healthcare for transgender youth.
The order declares that it is the policy of the U.S. that it 'will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another...'
