Trump signed an order banning gender transition for individuals under 19 years old.

On January 28, the White House announced that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order prohibiting gender transition procedures for individuals under the age of 19.
Трамп подписал указ, который запрещает изменение пола для людей младше 19 лет.

The order outlines restrictions on providing assistance or services related to gender transition for medical institutions receiving federal funding. The ban specifically includes puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures.

Trump urged the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "take all necessary measures to stop the chemical and surgical mutilation of children."

In Trump's directive, it is noted that "the policy of the United States is that they will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called transition of a child from one gender to another, and they will strictly enforce all laws prohibiting or limiting these life-altering, destructive procedures."

It also calls for the termination of coverage related to transgender services for young individuals under federal health insurance policies, including benefits from the Department of Defense, federal medical benefits for employees, and postal service medical benefits.

The order states that "countless children will soon regret being mutilated," and they begin to "realize the terrible tragedy that they will 'never be able to conceive their own children' or breastfeed."
