The Trump Administration has instructed the NIH to investigate feelings of regret among individuals who underwent gender-affirming care. This decision has sparked criticism, especially concerning the language used in the directive, which labels such care as 'chemical and surgical mutilation.' HHS emphasizes supporting scientific studies that reveal the long-term outcomes of gender transitioning, while critics, including the Human Rights Campaign, argue that the focus on regret is misleading and undermines established evidence that gender-affirming care is effective in serving public health needs.
Health care decisions for young people should be made by parents and doctors, not Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The NIH is prioritizing research that provides clear, objective data regarding the long-term effects of gender transitions.
