Trump to Ban Transgender Surgeries for Minors in All 50 States on First Day in Office

Nov 9, 2024, 09:58 AM

Donald Trump has announced a comprehensive plan aimed at regulating gender-related healthcare for minors and redefining gender recognition in the United States. On his first day in office, he intends to revoke existing policies related to gender-affirming care, which he labels as 'cruel,' and will introduce a new executive order to halt federal funding for programs that promote such procedures. Trump also plans to ask Congress to pass legislation that would establish only male and female genders recognized by the U.S. government, assigning these genders at birth. This initiative includes a ban on transgender surgeries for minors across all 50 states, aiming to prevent what he describes as the 'chemical, physical and emotional mutilation' of youth. Furthermore, Trump has indicated that taxpayer dollars will no longer be used to support these procedures, and he will advocate for educational programs that promote traditional family structures.
