On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order called "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation. " This order states that the U. S. will not fund or support the transition of children from one sex to another and will enforce laws against these procedures.
The order instructs agencies to change policies based on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) guidelines, claiming these lack scientific integrity. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will review existing literature on best practices for supporting children with gender dysphoria within 90 days.
Additionally, executive departments must ensure that research grants do not support the surgeries. The Secretary of HHS is tasked with stopping these procedures and revising previous guidance on gender-affirming care, as well as protecting whistleblowers.
