President Donald Trump has signed an executive order titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” which restricts transgender surgeries and drugs for minors in the United States. This move marks a significant shift in the country’s stance on transgender rights, particularly for children and minors.
The order asserts that medical professionals are “maiming and sterilizing” children under the false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through irreversible medical interventions. Trump’s administration argues that children who undergo such procedures often regret their decision and are left with lifelong medical complications .
Key aspects of the executive order include:
– Restrictions on Funding: Federal agencies are prohibited from funding or supporting institutions that provide transgender surgeries or drugs to minors.
– Ending ‘Junk Science’: The order directs federal agencies to rescind policies relying on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which has been criticized for promoting “pseudoscience” .
– Health and Human Services: The Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with taking appropriate action to end the “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children, including reviewing Medicare and Medicaid laws and drug use reviews .
This executive order is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to address issues related to transgender rights and gender ideology.
