LA hospital’s “Transyouth” clinic to shut down under Trump executive order
“The hospital has been left with no viable path forward except to close the Center.”
The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles has regretfully closed its center for “Transyouth” health in light of President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting the practice of mutilating or giving drugs to children experiencing gender dysphoria.
“Despite this deeply held commitment to supporting LA’s gender-diverse community, the hospital has been left with no viable path forward except to close the Center for Transyouth Health and Development,” the website for the center now reads.
While staffers are reportedly bereaved, the decision to close “followed a thorough legal and financial assessment of the increasingly severe impacts of recent administrative actions and proposed policies.”
LifeSiteNews notes that this is the same hospital that employed a doctor who faced a lawsuit last year for allegedly pressuring a minor patient into a medical “transition” she would later regret.
Data has long existed showing that over 80% of children who experience gender dysphoria while outgrow it by the time they reach adulthood.
Trump’s executive order marks a stark change from the previous administration, which worked to expand so-called “affirming health care” for “transgender” minors. However, during the time that the radically pro-transgender President Joe Biden was in office, the United States began to fall woefully behind other nations that were already beginning to reject the radical “Dutch protocol” to “treat” gender dysphoria.
In the UK and other nations that had previously embraced so-called “affirming” healthcare for children, this practice has been rolled back in recent years as research consistently demonstrates a lack of data demonstrating safety or effectiveness.
Now, under President Trump’s order, “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end,” the official document also states.
President Trump may not be right about everything by a longshot, but he’s certainly right about this. Let’s hope that around the nation, legislation makes its way forward to ensure that children will be safe even after he leaves office.
