American taxpayers will no longer be on the hook for child sex-change hormones or surgeries, as a key Trump administration agency announced Tuesday that Medicaid will stop funding such procedures and therapies.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz tells Fox News Digital that the decision to implement a rule pulling the funding is “consistent with [the Trump administration’s] commitment to protect children from experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit.”
CMS, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), says taxpayer-funded Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will also cease coverage of sex-change hormones and surgeries.
The rule will not affect mental health treatments for gender dysmorphia and other conditions, which will continue to be covered under Medicaid and CHIP.
The move comes after years of what conservatives called ‘woke’ policies that opened avenues for federal funding of therapies and procedures to allow children to physically — and oftentimes permanently — transition from their biological sex before they could legally drive, get a tattoo or enlist in the US Military.
“Children deserve our protection, not experimental interventions that pose serious risks and convey no proven benefits,” Oz said. “By cutting off federal funds for these sex-rejecting procedures, we’re following the science, saving taxpayer dollars, and, most importantly, protecting children from potentially irreversible harm so they can truly flourish.”
Specifically, the “sex-rejecting” treatments that will no longer be covered include cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers and sex-change surgical operations.
CMS and HHS say such procedures “can result in irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other lasting physiological effects.”

Prosecute the doctors and hospitals that perform sex change operations on minors. The doctors should have their medical license revoked.
And the troons themselves call it “genocide”.
Agree!! I would love a tummy tuck. My Dr said it would really help my back pain. Oh...what? That’s elective surgery? Medicare won’t pay for it? But..but...why? Oh, the funds are going to the transing of kids and adults. I see! NO, I DO NOT SEE!!
How about protecting our children from mRNA vaccines that can kill them.
How about protecting us from the new CDC director that said during confirmation hearings that mRNA vaccines were safe and effective.
It continues to boggle my mind that the far left was able to successfully rebrand child mutilation and sterilization as “gender affirming care.”
You cannot “affirm” a child’s sex by neutering him or her.
O, the Hugh Manatee! Where will tomorrow’s demonicRATS come from?
