Trump administration reaffirms: Gender-related procedures are CHILD ABUSE

05/07/2025 / By Ramon Tomey

The Trump administration labels gender transition procedures for minors as “child abuse” and vows to cut federal funding for schools promoting transgender ideology.
The administration moves to halt taxpayer-funded medical interventions for minors with gender dysphoria, reversing Biden-era policies that expanded access to gender-affirming care, including surgeries.
The Department of Justice is investigating cases where minors undergo transition procedures without parental consent, deemed a “gross violation of parental rights.” Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries are condemned as “barbaric” and “irreversible.”
Some European nations (e.g., Sweden, UK) have restricted puberty blockers for minors due to emerging evidence of harm. In the U.S., Republican-led states ban transition procedures while Democratic states defend them as lifesaving care.
Schools allowing biological males in women’s sports or facilitating social transitions without parental consent risk losing federal funding. The administration frames this as protecting children from “taxpayer-funded child mutilation.”

The Trump administration has reiterated its firm stance against gender transition procedures for minors, labeling them as “child abuse” and vowing to cut federal funding for schools promoting transgender ideology.

In a press briefing Thursday, May 1, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller announced sweeping measures to halt taxpayer-funded medical interventions for children experiencing gender dysphoria. Miller, speaking to reporters at the Brady Briefing Room, framed the issue as both a medical ethics violation and a parental rights concern. The move marks a sharp reversal from Biden-era policies that expanded access to gender-affirming care – including health coverage for transition-related surgeries.

Miller emphasized that the Department of Justice is collaborating with state and local law enforcement to investigate cases where minors undergo gender transition procedures without parental consent, calling such actions “a gross violation of parental rights.” He specifically condemned chemical and surgical interventions, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and genital surgeries, as “barbaric” and “irreversible.”

“Castration surgeries, castration drugs [and] sterilization treatments of children are barbaric. They violate all sound medical ethics,” Miller stated. “They harm children for life, irreversibly. It is child torture. It is child abuse. It is medical malpractice.”

The announcement follows years of escalating debate over the medicalization of gender dysphoria in minors. Critics argue that long-term consequences such as infertility, bone density loss and psychological impacts are not sufficiently studied.

Miller: Schools pushing transgenderism will be DEFUNDED

The Biden administration had previously championed gender-affirming care as a civil rights issue, with policies ensuring Medicaid coverage for transition-related procedures and legal protections for transgender youth. However, the Trump administration has now moved to dismantle those measures, with Miller declaring, “The era of taxpayer-funded child mutilation is over.” (Related: Trump plans to criminalize GENDER TRANSITION surgery on minors without parental consent if elected.)

Historical context underscores the contentious nature of this issue. Over the past decade, Western nations have seen a dramatic rise in minors identifying as transgender, accompanied by a surge in medical interventions.

Some European countries, including Sweden and the United Kingdom, have recently reversed course, restricting puberty blockers and hormones for minors due to emerging evidence of harm. Meanwhile, U.S. states have become battlegrounds – with Republican-led legislatures banning transition procedures for minors while Democratic strongholds defend them as lifesaving care.

The second Trump administration’s crackdown extends beyond healthcare, targeting schools that promote transgender ideology. Miller warned that institutions allowing biological males in women’s sports or facilitating social transitions without parental consent risk losing federal funding.

“We are using every single legal and financial tool we have, at President Trump’s direction, to make it clear. Schools and universities … will lose federal funds if you allow men to invade women’s sports and women’s spaces he said.

As the political divide deepens, the debate over transgender medical care for minors remains one of the most polarizing issues in American society. Advocates argue that restrictions endanger vulnerable youth, while opponents insist they protect children from irreversible harm.

With the Trump administration now wielding federal authority to reshape policy, the long-term implications for healthcare, education and civil rights remain uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the battle over gender ideology – and who gets to decide a child’s future – is far from over.
