President Trump Takes Action to Protect Children from Irreversible Gender Affirming Procedures
Last week, President Donald J. Trump made a significant move by issuing executive action to safeguard American children from undergoing irreversible chemical and surgical procedures in the name of gender affirmation. This decision has already started yielding positive results by preventing children from falling victim to harmful treatments that could potentially lead to sterilization and permanent physical alterations. The action aims to counter the false narrative perpetuated by adults claiming to be able to change a child’s biological sex.
Hospitals across the nation have responded to this executive action by reevaluating or discontinuing their “gender-affirming care” programs:
- NEW YORK: NYU Langone Health has taken steps to cancel appointments for gender-affirming care involving minors, including the cancellation of appointments for two 12-year-olds scheduled to receive puberty-blocking medication implants.
- COLORADO: Denver Health has announced the cessation of performing sex change surgeries on minor children, while UCHealth is discontinuing gender-affirming care services for minors.
- VIRGINIA: VCU Health and Children’s Hospital of Richmond have suspended transgender-related medication and surgeries for minors, and UVA Health has suspended all transgender-related services for minors.
- WASHINGTON, D.C.: Children’s National Hospital and Northwest Washington Hospital have paused prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapies for minors.
- ILLINOIS: Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is currently reviewing their transgender-related services for minors.
- PENNSYLVANIA: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is closely reviewing the transgender-related services they provide for minors.
President Trump’s commitment to protecting American children is unwavering. This recent executive action is a testament to his promise to prioritize the well-being and safety of the nation’s youth.
With promises made and promises kept, President Trump continues to demonstrate his dedication to safeguarding the future of America’s children.
