RFK Jr. Announces Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

Hol

Well-known
Kennedy signed a declaration deeming these treatments unsafe and ineffective, backed by HHS reports and the UK's Cass Review. New measures include public warnings to providers, reversing gender dysphoria's disability status, and blocking federal reimbursements through Medicare and Medicaid—potentially halting access nationwide since most hospitals depend on that funding. Conservatives praised the steps as child protection, while critics argued they deny validated care endorsed by major medical groups like the AMA.

House Passes Bill Criminalizing Gender Treatments for Minors
Last updated 1 hour ago

The Protect Children's Innocence Act targets surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones aimed at aligning a minor's body with a different gender identity from their biological sex. It carries penalties of up to 10 years in prison for providers, with narrow exceptions for conditions like precocious puberty but not mental health issues. Republicans largely backed the bill, joined by three Democrats, while most Democrats opposed it; Rep. Sarah McBride called for politicians to avoid interfering in personal healthcare choices. If cleared by the Republican-led Senate and signed into law, it would apply in federal cases involving interstate travel or payments, reflecting ongoing national splits over such care.
