HHS Directed To Address ‘Mutilation,’ ‘Regret And Detransition’ Among Minors After Gender Reassignment


President Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants to erase the confusion and injustice many of Americans children have felt amid an ongoing cultural debate over transgenderism.

According to recent reports, that mission is now being extended to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

As the Daily Caller reported:

Two specific areas of government interest were “regret and detransition following social transition as well as chemical and surgical mutilation of children and adults” and “outcomes from children who have undergone social transition and/or chemical and surgical mutilation,” according to the emailed memo, which Nature said it had obtained.

Several NIH employees confirmed the directive to Nature and NPR, both outlets reported.

“This is very important to the President and the Secretary [of the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.],” the email read, according to the outlets.

Even those such cases don’t receive much mainstream media coverage, there have been an array of formerly “transgender” adolescents and teens who later came to detransition and speak out against allowing the same procedures to be used on other minors.

 

In remarks prior to his confirmation, Kennedy offered his stance on the topic, as USA Today reported at the time:

“They should be loved,” Kennedy said. But he would not support gender affirming care, including gender-altering surgeries or hormone treatments, for people younger than 18.

“Sometimes love means saying no to people.”

More specifically, Kennedy said he would rescind a rule issued by former President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services agency aimed at preventing gender identity discrimination in healthcare.

“That rule is anti-science,” Kennedy said Thursday. “Even more, just from a common sense – if you’re a patient, do you really want somebody performing surgery on you who is morally opposed to that surgery? It doesn’t make any sense.”

Here’s what Trump said earlier this year:
