HHS Review Recommends Therapy Over Broader Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Youth
- Two large hospital systems in central Pennsylvania stopped offering gender-affirming care to minors following a January 2025 executive order by President Trump.
- This change stems from Trump’s order restricting transgender drugs and surgeries for those under 19, although its implementation faces legal challenges and a temporary block.
- The order describes gender-affirming care as including counseling, hormones, and surgery aimed at aligning gender identity, while many professional medical societies support these treatments.
- A recent national poll showed 47% of registered voters oppose puberty blockers for children under any circumstance, while 29% support their use with parental consent and 10% without; Democrats were more supportive than Republicans.
- Healthcare system restrictions and political opposition to gender-affirming care risk affecting access for transgender youth, raising concerns among advocates about patient wellbeing and calls for medically appropriate protocols.
