The FBI recently called for public assistance in reporting hospitals, clinics, or doctors performing surgeries on minors related to gender-affirming care, coinciding with the start of Pride Month. This controversially timed request appears to relate to a larger narrative pushed by right-leaning voices that claim such surgeries are harmful, despite a lack of evidence specifically indicating children under 18 are receiving these surgeries. The response builds on comments from Attorney General Pam Bondi, emphasizing an intention to prosecute medical practitioners under laws against female genital mutilation, further escalating tensions in the ongoing national debate over gender-affirming care for minors.
Help the FBI protect children. As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care.
The Department of Justice will not sit idly by while doctors, motivated by ideology, profits or both, exploit and mutilate our children.
