Trump administration policies force their hand
Hospitals affiliated with Yale University will no longer inject gender-confused kids with drugs, due to a Trump administration policy.
“Yale Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital are eliminating the medication treatment component of the gender-affirming program for patients under age 19,” NBC CT reported.
The drugs are intended to block puberty and help boys look like girls and vice versa. President Trump’s administration, as reported by NBC reported, “prohibits the use of federal funds for any services that sponsors, promotes, assists or supports the transition of a child from one sex to another.”
“We have been carefully monitoring federal executive orders and administrative actions relating to gender-affirming care for patients under age 19,” Yale New Haven Health told the media. “After a thorough assessment of the current environment, we have made the very difficult decision to modify the pediatric gender program to eliminate the medication treatment component of the gender-affirming program for patients under age 19.”
Yale Medicine works closely with the hospital system. “Yale New Haven Hospital is the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine,” according to the healthcare organization’s website.
Other university-affiliated hospitals have also announced plans to stop the injection of children with transgender drugs and to stop surgeries which remove healthy body parts such as breasts and testicles.
University of Chicago Medicine also announced this month it will no longer offer “gender-affirming care” for minors, as reported by The Fix.
UCMed offers several “feminizing and masculinizing” operations, including hormone therapy, “gender affirmation” surgery, and voice services, according to its website.
Stanford Medicine made a similar decision in June.
Biologists have confirmed there are only two sexes and they are immutable. Additionally, formerly gender-confused individuals like Chloe Cole, have warned about the dangers of transgender surgeries for minors.
Cole herself had her breasts removed when she was only 15-years-old, a decision she later came to regret.
Scientific evidence also supports skepticism about the benefits of transgender drugs and surgeries for minors. An official Health and Human Services report in May identified “serious concerns about medical interventions, such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, that attempt to transition children and adolescents away from their sex.”
“The review highlights a growing body of evidence pointing to significant risks—including irreversible harms such as infertility—while finding very weak evidence of benefit,” experts concluded. “That weakness has been a consistent finding of systematic reviews of evidence around the world.”
