Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation

On January 28, 2025, President [Name Not Provided in Document] issued Executive Order 14187, aiming to prohibit federal support for gender transition procedures in minors, described as "chemical and surgical mutilation." The order mandates federal agencies to withdraw guidance based on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's standards and to defund medical institutions that provide such care to children. This action could significantly impact healthcare access for transgender youth, sparking potential legal challenges and intensifying the political debate over transgender rights and healthcare.
