President Trump signed an executive order stopping the federal funding and support for gender transitions for minors, arguing that many children may regret such choices. He asserted that the treatment could lead to lifelong complications and prevent the ability to have children. This controversial action has intensified the national divide over medical treatment for transgender youth, with rising cases of gender dysphoria among young people, though only a minority have undergone medical procedures. Advocacy groups, like GLADD, strongly condemned the order, arguing the rhetoric lacks accuracy and coherence.
Trump's executive order halts federal funding for gender transitions for LGBTQ youth, claiming this action prevents irreversible consequences for minors who might regret these decisions.
LGBTQ rights group GLADD criticizes Trump's rhetoric as 'appallingly inaccurate, incoherent, and extreme,' emphasizing the complexities of gender-affirming care for youth.
