💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced a ban on hospitals and doctors providing gender-affirming care to transgender minors, labeling it "medical negligence." The move prohibits Medicare and Medicaid participation for facilities offering puberty blockers and surgeries to minors. The FDA sent warnings to vendors of binders marketed for gender dysphoria in children.
