Major medical associations and LGBTQ+ organizations have condemned the recent Department of Health and Human Services report that found that the quality of research on so-called gender-affirming care for minors is “very low.”

In the January 28 executive order titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” President Trump announced that the secretary of health and human services would publish a review of “the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion” within 90 days.
