Executive Order: Protecting America’s Children
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump took a bold step in defending America’s children by signing an executive order titled Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation. This historic measure puts an end to dangerous medical practices that have harmed vulnerable minors by preventing irreversible procedures that mutilate young bodies under the false pretense of changing their sex. The order bans federal funding for hormone-altering drugs, puberty blockers, and surgical operations for individuals under 19, stopping a radical medical agenda that has already done incalculable damage to America’s youth.
President Trump made it clear that these so-called “treatments” are nothing short of child abuse. “Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end,” the order states.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his commitment to protecting children, saying, “Today, it was my great honor to sign an Executive Order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of innocent children in the United States of America. Our Nation will no longer fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support these horrific procedures that have already ruined far too many precious lives. My Order directs agencies to use every available means to cut off Federal financial participation in institutions which seek to perform these barbaric procedures.”
Scope and Impact of the Order
The executive order takes decisive action against institutions that promote and perform these destructive medical interventions. It ensures that hospitals, research centers, and medical schools that receive federal funding will no longer be allowed to engage in these procedures on minors. Additionally, federal health insurance programs—including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits program—are prohibited from covering any procedure that attempts to alter a child’s biological sex.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services has been tasked with drafting new regulations to fully eliminate the use of puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries on minors. The order also directs the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute any instances of fraud and medical malpractice related to these procedures. The Attorney General has been instructed to take immediate action against medical providers who mislead families about the long-term consequences of these so-called “treatments.”
Supporters Praise Trump’s Leadership
Parents, medical professionals, and child advocates are hailing this order as a crucial step in protecting vulnerable children from irreversible damage. Mark Trammell, executive director of the Center for American Liberty, commended Trump’s decisive action, stating, “President Trump is to be commended for his incredible leadership in protecting vulnerable children from the medical-industrial complex that seeks to profit off their confusion. This executive order rightfully distances federal agencies from the discredited World Professional Association for Transgender Health while also withholding federal funding from institutions that chemically and surgically destroy kids’ futures.”
Critics of these dangerous procedures have long argued that they are based on political ideology rather than sound medical science. Many European nations, including the United Kingdom, have already rolled back similar procedures due to concerns over safety and long-term consequences. Trump’s order aligns the United States with countries that recognize the severe harm these procedures cause and are taking action to protect children.
Opposition from Radical Activists
Unsurprisingly, radical activists and organizations that profit from these medical procedures are attacking the order. The Human Rights Campaign, a group that promotes these harmful treatments, released a statement condemning the measure. “This executive order is a brazen attempt to put politicians in between people and their doctors, preventing them from accessing medical care,” claimed Kelley Robinson, president of the group.
However, defenders of the order argue that the real issue is protecting children from being exploited by political ideology disguised as medicine. Many young people who underwent these life-altering procedures as children now deeply regret it. Lawsuits from those who were misled by medical professionals are already making their way through the courts, exposing the devastating impact of these treatments.
Attorney Omar Gonzalez-Pagan of Lambda Legal, another radical group pushing this agenda, falsely claimed that the order “condemns transgender youth to extreme and unnecessary pain and suffering.” In reality, the order is protecting children from a system that seeks to confuse and exploit them.
Medical and Scientific Reality
Major medical organizations have been infiltrated by radical activists pushing dangerous medical interventions on minors. However, a growing number of doctors and researchers are speaking out against these procedures. Recent studies have shown that these treatments do not reduce mental health distress in children and, in many cases, lead to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
The executive order contains a section titled “Ending Reliance on Junk Science,” which calls out the discredited guidance from WPATH and other activist organizations masquerading as scientific authorities. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a full review of legitimate, evidence-based practices for treating children struggling with their identity. Rather than pushing them toward harmful medical interventions, the focus should be on compassionate counseling and family support.
Legal Challenges and Statewide Momentum
This executive order builds on the momentum of state-level action to protect children. Over two dozen states have already passed laws prohibiting these procedures on minors, and the movement is growing. In Tennessee, a law banning these harmful treatments is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court, with a ruling expected soon. Legal experts anticipate that Trump’s order will serve as a powerful precedent for further protections at the state and federal levels.
While radical activists prepare to challenge the order in court, defenders of children’s rights are ready to fight back. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other far-left groups claim they will challenge the order on constitutional grounds, but legal experts argue that the government has a clear interest in protecting children from irreversible harm.
President Trump’s executive order is a critical victory for children, parents, and common sense. By ending federal funding for dangerous and irreversible medical procedures, the order ensures that vulnerable minors are no longer subjected to life-altering interventions pushed by radical ideologues.
NP Editor: This is one of the vestiges of wok-ism that has done tragic harm to vulnerable children. Hopefully, this will go at least part of the way in restoring sanity to America.
