Trump Administration Proposes Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Junior announced new rules to limit medical procedures for transgender children, citing junk science and focusing on child well-being. The proposals include preventing hospitals from performing these procedures on children under eighteen and stopping federal Medicaid funding for such procedures. The department also declared these interventions do not meet professional health care standards, potentially leading to practitioners being out of compliance. The Food and Drug Administration is sending warning letters to manufacturers and retailers for illegally marketing breast binders to children. These regulations could significantly impact access in nearly two dozen states and are expected to face challenges from major medical and advocacy groups.
