The presidentโ€™s order aims to reverse Biden-era policies that fund so-called โ€˜gender-affirming careโ€™ for individuals under 19 years old.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to protect children under the age of 19 from gender transitions.

The order signed on Tuesday cuts off any federal support for such surgeries.

โ€œAccordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called โ€™transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,โ€ the order stated.

Trumpโ€™s order cites the dangers of โ€œchemical and surgical mutilation,โ€ including the use of puberty blockers and any procedure that attempts to transform a personโ€™s physical appearance to align with an identity that is different from his or her sex.

It states that many children donโ€™t fully understand the consequences of their decision to undergo gender transitions.

โ€œCountless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding,โ€ the order stated.

Trump also directed the secretary of health and human services to take any regulatory actions necessary to end gender transition surgeries.

Lawmakers expressed support for Trumpโ€™s latest executive action.

โ€œThis is an incredible victory for families, science, and truth,โ€ Rep. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote in a statement on X.

Some advocacy groups have criticized the order as a โ€œbrazen attempt to put politicians in between people and their doctors.โ€

โ€œIt is deeply unfair to play politics with peopleโ€™s lives and strip transgender young people, their families and their providers of the freedom to make necessary health care decisions,โ€ Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.

The order aims to reverse Biden-era policies that provided federal funding for transgender-related research and surgeries.
