"America's children are our future."
"the radical, un-American indoctrination of America's children by eliminating support for divisive, radical 'gender ideology' and 'equity ideology.'"
"This framing invisibilizes children who exist outside those norms-queer, trans, disabled, poor, or marginalized children whose lived realities rarely shape policy priorities,"
The Trump administration made pronatalism a central policy focus, promoting measures aimed at increasing the U.S. birthrate. The administration's approach, supported by pronatalist organizations and philanthropic backers, aligned with reproductive futurism, a logic tying the future to heteronormative reproduction and idealized family forms. Rhetoric such as "America's children are our future" linked political value to that vision and enabled policies that erase legal recognition of transgender and intersex people, restrict transgender youth in sports, and attack access to gender-affirming care—prompting many hospitals to stop providing care for trans youth. Political appeals framed "for the children" exclude queer, trans, disabled, poor, and other marginalized children.
