The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it will block hospitals from performing sex-rejecting, mutilating procedures on children.
A press release from the department stated that procedures to be barred “include pharmaceutical or surgical interventions of specified types that attempt to align a child’s physical appearance or body with an asserted identity different from their sex.”
The department is working to fulfill President Trump’s Executive Order, signed on January 28, 2025, Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.
In a press conference, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy said he has now taken action to follow that order, directing health care providers to follow science – not transgender dogma:
Secretary Kennedy used strong language to condemn hospitals, health care professionals, and medical organization that irreversibly damaged children. He called these procedures “junk science” and “malpractice,” stating:
The Secretary explained that medical organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics “peddled the lie that chemical and surgical sex-rejecting procedures could be good for children who suffer from gender dysphoria” – betraying more than 300,000 young people who were “conditioned to believe that sex can be changed.”
HHS’ press release detailed steps it would take to protect children:
The department was also “moving to reverse the Biden administration’s attempt to include gender dysphoria within the definition of a disability”; proposing new rules “to prohibit federal Medicaid funding for sex-rejecting procedures on children under age 18”; and “issuing warning letters to 12 manufacturers and retailers for illegal marketing of breast binders to children for the purposes of treating gender dysphoria.”
Pro-child activists were quick to applaud the HHS’ actions. Erin Lee, who is spearheading a ballot effort in Colorado to protect children from these horrific procedures, said, “The White House and HHS have taken HUGE steps to crack down on irreversible sex-rejecting procedures for children … “
At the same time, she noted that many states, with leaders in thrall to deceptive transgender ideology, would fight the Trump administration’s actions, adding, “That’s why we MUST *ban* this child butchery in the blue states.”
Chloe Cole, who’s body was damaged by transgender medical interventions and has fought to protect sexually confused children, praised HHS’ newly proposed rules, saying the day was “incredible” and “uplifting.”
Her moving and eloquent words at the press conference show why it’s so good and vitally important that our government is taking steps to safeguard children:
