President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order ‘Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,’ making it “the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” the order reads, denouncing such gender transitions as “a stain on our Nation’s history.”
“Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding,” the order continues, stressing the lifelong medical bills and complications such children are lumbered with.
The order targets the “junk science” transgenderism relies on, singling out the deeply controversial World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) for particular criticism.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is tasked with coordinating with state attorneys general to take action against purveyors of female genital mutilation and working with Congress “to draft, propose, and promote legislation to enact a private right of action for children and the parents of children whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals practicing chemical and surgical mutilation.”
Action to “end child-abusive practices by so-called sanctuary States that facilitate stripping custody from parents who support the healthy development of their own children” is also ordered.
