New Executive Order Restricts Medical Interventions for Individuals Under 19

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order prohibiting federal funding for medical procedures related to gender transition for individuals under the age of 19. This decision is part of a broader effort to reverse transgender-related policies introduced during the Biden administration.

Details of the Executive Order

The order, titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” was issued on Tuesday. It states that the federal government will no longer fund, support, or promote gender transition treatments for minors, which the administration describes as irreversible medical interventions.

According to the document, “chemical and surgical mutilation” includes the administration of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and gender-related surgeries. The White House clarified that the term "children" refers to individuals under the age of 19.

Impact on Federal Policies and Programs

The executive order instructs all US federal agencies to rescind policies based on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), stating that the organization lacks scientific integrity. Additionally, federally managed insurance programs such as Tricare (for military families) and Medicaid are directed to exclude coverage for gender transition procedures.

The Department of Justice has been tasked with drafting legislation to further restrict these practices. The order also seeks to introduce a private right of action for children and parents who claim harm from gender transition treatments.

Reversal of Transgender Policies

Since assuming office, Trump has taken multiple actions to reverse transgender-related policies established by the Biden administration. The president has reaffirmed that "there are only two genders – male and female" as a guiding principle for US government policies.

Earlier this week, Trump also signed an order aimed at removing "radical gender ideology" from the US military. This policy asserts that military service should be limited to individuals who meet specific mental and physical fitness standards.
