WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under age 19.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘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,” Trump said in a statement.
No, this is definitely a real thing. Medicare (run by the states) has some states that support gender affirming care for minors. This removes funding for that, and the state would have to cover it on their own. Likewise with military insurance.
Will this impact a lot of people? No. Will it still impact people? Absolutely and fuck this man for this shit.
Presumably you mean Medicaid? I guess I assumed there was already a Hyde amendment type thing there as well.
