FTC to Investigate Whether Transgender Procedures Are Being Sold Through Deceptive Practices
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 9 – The Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department are investigating nearly 20 subpoenas issued for alleged healthcare fraud and misinformation in gender-affirming care for minors, focusing on consumer protection.
- The Federal Trade Commission held a workshop on July 9, 2025, in Washington, D.C., investigating whether gender-affirming care for minors involves deceptive medical practices.
- This event followed the U.S. Supreme Court's U.S. v. Skrmetti ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on such care, amid broader political and legal challenges to transgender medical treatments.
- The workshop featured testimonies from detransitioners, whistleblowers, and ethicists alleging fraud and emotional harm, while critics argued the event amplified discredited anti-trans narratives.
- FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson emphasized that his primary responsibility is safeguarding children, highlighting the agency's commitment to addressing misinformation and preventing fraud.
- Following the workshop, the Justice Department issued nearly 20 subpoenas to clinics for possible health-care fraud, and the FTC plans to seek public input before pursuing enforcement or rulemaking.
