Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation

On January 28, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation." The order prohibits federal funding and support for medical procedures that attempt to change a child's sex, including the use of puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries. It directs federal agencies to rescind policies based on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which the order claims lacks scientific integrity. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with reviewing literature on best practices for treating children with gender dysphoria and improving data quality. Additionally, the order mandates that TRICARE and federal health insurance plans exclude coverage for such procedures and instructs the Department of Justice to enforce laws against female genital mutilation and investigate deceptive practices related to these medical interventions.
