US President-elect Donald Trump has laid out his comprehensive strategy to address what he describes as the “chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.”
He expressed his intent to revoke President Joe Biden’s policies surrounding gender-affirming care on his first day back in office.
“Ridiculous. A process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. Can you believe this?” Trump stated emphatically. He pledged to sign a new executive order that would instruct every federal agency to cease all programs promoting sex and gender transition at any age.
Furthermore, he plans to push Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used for these procedures and to pass a law prohibiting what he terms “child sexual mutilation” in all 50 states. “It’ll go very quickly,” he assured his audience.
Trump’s plan entails strict penalties for healthcare providers involved in these practices. “I will declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare, and will be terminated from the program immediately,” he asserted.
To strengthen accountability, he vowed to support a private right of action for victims, allowing them to sue doctors who perform these procedures on minors. “The Department of Justice will investigate big pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of sex transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients,” Trump declared.
In a further commitment to his agenda, Trump indicated that his Department of Education would take action against educators who suggest to children that they could be “trapped in the wrong body.”
He warned of “severe consequences including potential civil rights violations for sex discrimination and the elimination of federal funding.”
Moreover, Trump expressed his vision for a new educational framework, emphasizing the importance of the nuclear family. “We will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique,” he explained.
He also called on Congress to pass legislation affirming that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, assigned at birth.
“The bill will also make clear that Title IX prohibits men from participating in women’s sports, and we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity,” he added.
Trump concluded with a stark warning against the current discourse on gender identity, stating, “No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender. A concept that was never heard of in all of human history. Nobody’s ever heard of this, what’s happening today?”
He firmly believes that under his leadership, “this madness will end.”
