Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday announced a series of proposed regulatory actions to carry out President Donald Trump's executive order directing HHS to end the practice of sex-rejecting procedures on children.
During a news conference broadcast on Newsmax, Kennedy said doctors "assume a solemn obligation to protect children," but argued that medical groups have promoted "needless and irreversible" interventions for minors with gender dysphoria.
The sweeping proposals are the most significant moves the Trump administration has taken so far to restrict the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical interventions for transgender children.
He called so-called "gender-affirming care" for children "not medicine" but "malpractice," and said HHS is "done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well-being of children."
Kennedy said the moves are guided by "gold standard science" and anchored in an HHS peer-reviewed review of evidence that the department published last month on pediatric gender dysphoria.
According to an HHS press release, the department’s actions include two new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) notices of proposed rulemaking.
One proposal would bar hospitals participating in Medicare and Medicaid from performing sex-rejecting procedures on children under 18 as a condition of participation.
A second proposal would prohibit federal Medicaid funding for such procedures for those under 18 and would apply similarly to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for individuals under 19.
The press release also said Kennedy signed a declaration finding these interventions do not meet "professionally recognized standards of health care," with practitioners deemed out of compliance under that declaration.
HHS further announced that the Food and Drug Administration is issuing warning letters to 12 manufacturers and retailers over the "illegal marketing of breast binders to children" for the purpose of treating gender dysphoria...

Satan’s not gonna like this
They should ban them for everybody. It’s a mental illness...............
Should be a felony, a capital crime to be honest. Eff these modern Mengeles.
Never would l have thought this would be necessary. Even at that the rats will fight this and l’ll bet they find Judge(s) to help them.
I don’t think anyone fought for lobotomies this much in the 1950’s.
Yay!! Puberty blocker blockers.
Children don’t even know what sex is. The only ones encouraging them to get sex change procedures are perverts doing it for their own gratification, not for the benefit of the children.
Fully Agree!
Not sure it’s a mental illness. Some families are reallty loaded with nutcases. My moter totally detested me from the minute I was born, , so I was a Daddy’s girl from the beginning. He taught me to read, could and did read adult novels at four. Also loved to walk around giggling in his shoes and hat, really wished I’d been born a boy.
That was my early childhood, and it changed when puberty struck. My kids are happy that it did. Soooooo, banning sex change for kids is totally logical, rational and right.
OTOH, if adult nutcases can afford it, I really don’t care what they chop off or glue on or even where they glue it.
“What’s that unicorn horn on your forehead, Larry....ooops... Loretta?”
Maybe we’ll need new laws about wearing hats for forhead schlong wearers.
This is great news. Protect our children.
Every doctor doing these surgeries and prescriptions for any purpose dealing with “sexual confusion” and not because of a cancer or other issue whereby the kid wants to stay their own sex, should be in prison.
I hope, at least, that the future looks upon this as we look upon the ice pick lobotomies of the 50s and the hysterectomies of the Victorian era.
No. But the psychs fight any attempt to curb ECT as if their lives depended on this brutal, murderous practice.
The work of the devil who seeks to pervert all that gives honor to God. I recall a movie about the lost “Atlantis civilization that transed humans into something deformed .
No. But the psychs fight any attempt to curb ECT as if their lives depended on this brutal, murderous practice.
