Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally
NPR ^ | 10/30/25 | Selena Simmons-Duffin

Posted on 10/31/2025 9:15:34 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth will be dramatically restricted by the Trump administration under new proposals by the Department of Health and Human Services.

NPR has obtained the draft text of a proposed rule that would prohibit federal Medicaid reimbursement for medical care provided to transgender patients younger than age 18. It also prohibits reimbursement through the Children's Health Insurance Program or CHIP for patients under age 19.

I really don't care if a guy wants to be a girl, just don't make taxpayers pay for it.

Access to gender-affirming care

The headline said "medical care," not Mengele-adjacent "treatment" with hormones and mutilations.

Children shouldn’t be getting sex changes because that’s insane.

Telling a boy he can be a girl and a girl she can be a boy is completely the opposite of “gender affirming.”

By the way, these same people also have claimed these...”features” don’t define gender at all...therefore...how does it make sense they need this “care” at all?

Their nonsense contradicts itself in every direction.

True. But it helps liberals feel good about themselves.

Under age 18? Under age 19? WTF. So everybody else that is insane still gets it free?

If you’re old enough to work and are still that deluded, you can pay for it yourself.

Honest headline: “Trump pushes to end gruesome medical experimentation and genital mutilation of children.”

There is no such thing as transgender youth, only mentally ill children and the people who take advantage of them to further their own twisted ideology and/or to make money.

i think there may be a problem after the government first sanctioned, supported and even encouraged these children to get cut. It will be a legal fight now if you suddenly then stop funding their care.

It probably will go there ultimately.

This “gender affirming” care crap is damnable, straight from the pits of Hell. Awful thing to do to someone, even worse when it’s an innocent child.

Your analysis is reasonable.

Theirs is, as you say, nonsense.

In keeping with your2nd paragraph, there is a doctor (in Texas) who will do surgery so that the patient has the (lack of) genitals of a mannekin.

There are only a few rare cases where hormones or puberty blockers should be used.

Children with CAH or NCCAH need puberty blockers to slow their systems down; otherwise, they can suffer from stunted growth, early menstral cycles, and other issues.

Boys with Klinefelters need testoterone because they have XYY chromosomes and their bodies don’t produce enough.

Girls with Turner’s (X/X + partial X) need estrogen because their bodies down produce enough.

Boys with Swyers (X/damaged Y) may need surgery because they are born with a vagina, not a penis.

Other than that or a case of ambiguous genitalia / hermaphrodite, there is no medical reason to operate / feed hormones to a child.
