U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposes new rules to ban gender-affirming care for minors, cutting off federal funding for hospitals providing such care. Secretary Kennedy Junior deems these procedures as not medicine and robbing children of their futures. The Office of Civil Rights plans to exclude gender dysphoria from disability definition, and FDA sends warning letters to companies selling chest binders. These actions impact nearly two dozen states and may discourage healthcare providers from offering gender-affirming care. The proposals face a lengthy rulemaking process and legal challenges.
