Articles | January 28, 2025 | by Catholics for Catholics

President Trump signs executive order titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” issued on January 28, 2025. 

Policy and Purpose
:
  • The executive order aims to stop what it describes as the “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children, referring to transgender medical treatments like puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries. It asserts these practices are based on false claims about changing a child’s sex and could lead to lifelong medical complications and regret.
Actions and Directives:
  • Federal Funding: No federal funds will be used for these medical interventions for minors. This includes a ban on federal research or education grants to institutions that engage in such practices.
  • Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE: The order directs changes in policies to exclude coverage for these procedures under Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE.
  • Insurance: Federal insurance providers are to exclude these treatments from coverage, and private insurance companies are encouraged to do the same.
  • Regulatory Actions: Agencies must rescind policies based on guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), particularly its “Standards of Care Version 8.”
  • Legal Actions: There’s a call for legislation to create a private right of action for children and parents affected by these practices, with a long statute of limitations.
  • State Sanctuary Practices: The order criticizes states that act as sanctuaries for these practices, suggesting investigation and potential action under existing laws like the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act.
Implementation:
  • Agencies have 60 days to report on their progress in implementing this order, focusing on ending these practices, revising policies, and ensuring compliance with the new directives.

This executive order reflects a strong stance against transgender medical treatments for minors, aiming to stop federal support and funding for such interventions, while also pushing for legislative and legal measures to address the issue.

“This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.” Trump
