Trump administration policies force their hand
Hospitals affiliated with Yale University will no longer inject gender-confused kids with drugs, due to a Trump administration policy.
“Yale Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital are eliminating the medication treatment component of the gender-affirming program for patients under age 19,” NBC CT reported.
The drugs are intended to block puberty and help boys look like girls and vice versa. President Trump’s administration, as reported by NBC reported, “prohibits the use of federal funds for any services that sponsors, promotes, assists or supports the transition of a child from one sex to another.”
“We have been carefully monitoring federal executive orders and administrative actions relating to gender-affirming care for patients under age 19,” Yale New Haven Health told the media. “After a thorough assessment of the current environment, we have made the very difficult decision to modify the pediatric gender program to eliminate the medication treatment component of the gender-affirming program for patients under age 19.”
Yale Medicine works closely with the hospital system. “Yale New Haven Hospital is the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine,” according to the healthcare organization’s website.
