Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other officials on Dec. 18 announced new steps they’re taking to cut down on breast removal and other “sex-rejecting” procedures for children.
Kennedy signed a declaration stating that “sex-rejecting procedures for children and adolescents are neither safe nor effective as a treatment modality for gender dysphoria, gender incongruence, or other related disorders in minors, and therefore, fail to meet professional recognized standards of health care.” Those procedures include vaginoplasties, or the creation of vaginas for males, and drugs such as puberty blockers, he said.
