Trump Stop Medical Care to Transgender Kids




 
Looking at the order from Trump, if an infant is born with no Sex organs or more than one, or identifies with the opposite sex, you give them no medical care until they are over 21 until they can pay of it themselves?? It makes no sense. When you try to administer non-laws based on your personal phobias and dislikes it becomes the source for having individuals loose their lives. 

What any book that people respect, Bible, Quran, Philosophers, Famous Doctors like Pastel (discovered penicillin) it tells humans to put themselves in place of those that are being oppressed. If Trump would put himself in the shoes of other humans, would he be the same? But Trump himself will tell  you that if it doesn't have the propensity for a return he doesn't do it. It needs to give you something in return. If you are able to feel other pains and not everyone can, you get as a return the satisfaction of not only doing the right thing but feeling good you helped a brother, sister?  Fellow human/ Taught something to the kids looking at you? Did your part for a better world , nation not just a machine that applauds without knowing why they are doing it ???

President Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive order meant to broadly restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender children and teenagers younger than 19, inching closer to fulfilling a key campaign promise to ban treatments that he and his administration have cast as experimental and dangerous, in conflict with major medical associations and transgender health experts. 

“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” Tuesday’s order states. “This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.” 

“Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” the order states. 

Every major medical organization supports gender-affirming care for transgender adults and minors, although not every trans person chooses to medically transition or has access to care. 

Trump’s executive order, titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” tasks federal agencies with rescinding or amending policies that rely on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), including the organization’s latest standards of care, released in 2022. 
 
Trump’s order tasks the incoming Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with publishing a review of existing literature on best practices “for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.”   

Rapid-onset gender dysphoria, which claims that adolescents identify as transgender because of influence from friends or social media, is not recognized as a valid medical diagnosis by major professional medical organizations. In 2021, 61 professional health care organizations, including the American Psychological Association, signed a letter stating the condition lacks “rigorous empirical support for its existence.” 

According to Tuesday’s order, heads of executive departments and agencies that provide research and education grants to medical institutions, including medical schools and hospitals, should take immediate steps to block funding for institutions that continue providing gender-affirming care to minors. 

Meredithe McNamara, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale University specializing in adolescent medicine, said the provision amounts to “an immediate de facto ban on medical care” for trans youth who receive care at academic medical centers. 

“It basically defunds those medical centers if they continue to provide that care,” McNamara said of the order.
