🏳️‍⚧️🚫 Trump has also signed an executive order banning federal funding for gender transition treatments for minors under 19. The order prohibits the use of taxpayer money for puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and gender-affirming surgeries.

Hospitals and clinics receiving federal funds, including those under Medicare and Medicaid, are now barred from performing such procedures on minors.
