Studies find that more than 80 percent of children suffering gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence and that "reassignment" procedures fail to resolve gender-confused individuals' heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide—and even exacerbate it...

Fox 5 KUSI reports that Rady Children's Hospital (RCH) in San Diego has confirmed it will stop offering so-called "gender-affirming care" in response to the Trump administration's crackdown. "We were recently referred to the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General for Investigation," the hospital said. "Taken together, these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare."

"This was a very difficult decision, made to ensure we can continue serving all children and families across the communities we serve," RCH said, noting that while surgical and chemical "transitions" will end, it plans to continue offering counseling, mental health resources, and care coordination.

RCH is the latest of many hospitals around the country to suspend or abolish their youth "transition" practices in capitulation to one of President Donald Trump's earliest executive actions upon returning to office. The order ends all federal financial support for "transition" procedures on minors, rescinds or amends all of the Biden health bureaucracy's past endorsements of underage "transitioning," and calls for a review of the medical literature on the subject, enforcing all existing restrictions on underage "transitioning," and taking regulatory action to "end" the practice to the greatest extent possible under current law.

A large body of evidence shows that "affirming" gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically transformative, and often irreversible surgical and chemical procedures...
