The "Science" Behind Trump's Anti-Trans War Is Incredibly Weak
Briefly

The Trump administration's US Health and Human Services report opposes gender-affirming care for minors, framing its findings as science-backed. However, the article argues that the report is based on subjective moral values rather than objective evidence. Although billed as impartial, the report reiterates a familiar one-sided stance. The authors remain anonymous, and the report's methods lack credibility, indicating it may be used politically to support banning gender-affirming care. Analysts suggest the findings will be misrepresented in legislative discussions despite their lack of scientific rigor.
The report's case against gender-affirming care is ultimately based not on objective evidence, but rather subjective values—revealing a morally driven rather than scientifically rigorous argument.
Despite claiming to be evidence-based, the report's conclusion about gender-affirming care rehearses a one-sided position rather than providing an impartial verdict on the matter.
