Trump proposes new rules to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth
AI Summary
In December 2025, the Trump administration proposed new rules aimed at restricting gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 in the United States. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a proposed rule that would block hospitals and clinics from accessing Medicare and Medicaid programs if they provide gender-affirming care. A second rule would prohibit federal Medicaid funds from being used for gender-affirming procedures. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. also rejected gender-affirming care, and the FDA issued warnings to chest binder manufacturers marketing to transgender youth. The administration stated the actions were designed to prevent harm to children, despite warnings from medical associations about the detrimental effects of restricting such care.
