Скачать или смотреть Trump administration moves to cut off transgender care for children

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday unveiled a series of regulatory actions designed to block access to gender-affirming care for minors, building on broader Trump administration restrictions on transgender Americans.

The announcement from Department of Health and Human Services is the latest step by the Trump administration cracking down on transgender Americans.

The sweeping proposals include cutting off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to children.

The HHS Office of Civil Rights will also propose a rule excluding gender dysphoria from the definition of a disability. The proposals are not final or legally binding. They must go through a lengthy rulemaking process and are likely to face legal challenges.

They also contradict the recommendations of major medical groups including the American Medical Association.
