Last week, President Donald J. Trump took executive action to protect American children from irreversible chemical and surgical mutilation.
Itâs already having its intended effect â preventing children from being maimed and sterilized by adults perpetuating a radical, false claim that they can somehow change a childâs sex. Hospitals around the country are taking action to downsize or eliminate their so-called âgender-affirming careâ programs:
- NEW YORK: NYU Langone Health has started canceling appointments for so-called âgender-affirming careâ involving minors. They canceled appointments for âtwo 12-year-olds who had been scheduled to receive implants that dispense puberty-blocking medication.â
- COLORADO: Denver Health announced it would stop performing sex change surgeries on minor children, while UCHealth said it is ending so-called âgender-affirming careâ for all minors.
- VIRGINIA: VCU Health and Childrenâs Hospital of Richmond have âsuspendedâ providing transgender-related medication and surgeries for minors, while UVA Health has âsuspendedâ all transgender-related services for minors.
- WASHINGTON, D.C.: Childrenâs National Hospital has âpausedâ prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapies for minors, while Northwest Washington Hospital has done the same.
- ILLINOIS: Lurie Childrenâs Hospital of Chicago is âreviewingâ their transgender-related services for minors.
- PENNSYLVANIA: Childrenâs Hospital of Philadelphia is âclosely reviewingâ the transgender-related services they provide for minors.
President Trump will always protect American children.
Promises made, promises kept â again.
