The Trump administration, through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., unveiled sweeping regulatory actions on December 18, 2025, designed to effectively ban gender-affirming care for minors nationwide. These measures include withholding Medicare and Medicaid funding from hospitals providing such treatments to those under 18, prohibiting federal coverage for puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries, and declaring these procedures non-compliant with recognized standards of care. This decisive step protects vulnerable children from irreversible harm inflicted by sick, degenerate doctors who derive perverse satisfaction from mutilating healthy genitals and bodies of confused minors, often driven by ideological zeal rather than genuine medical ethics.

While many transgender youth may naturally adapt and mature out of their dysphoria as they age—studies show high rates of desistance without intervention—these predatory physicians push permanent damage like infertility, bone loss, and sexual dysfunction for profit and validation. The new policies finally halt this child abuse, forcing clinics to cease operations or lose vital federal support, and directing the Justice Department to prioritize enforcement. At long last, America is safeguarding its kids from exploitation by those who betray the Hippocratic Oath.

The real dilemma now is accountability for these beyond-reformation doctors who have maimed thousands: simple license revocation is insufficient for such grievous crimes against children. With congressional bills advancing criminal penalties up to 10 years in prison, justice demands prosecutions, asset seizures, and where applicable, deportation for foreign-trained enablers. Extreme cases of deliberate mutilation warrant the harshest measures to deter future monsters and restore trust in medicine—protecting innocents justifies holding these irredeemable perpetrators fully accountable.
