President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to restrict gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19.

The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE and Medicaid, exclude coverage for gender-affirming care for those under 19.

The directive built on a string of recent actions to roll back federal protections and services for transgender people.

An executive order President Donald Trump signed on his first day back in office offers a new federal government definition of the sexes that could have a major impact on transgender people nationwide.

"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," he said.

President Trump issued an executive order declaring that the U.S. government would only recognize a person’s sex assigned at birth.

In an executive order, the president also moved to end gender-related medical treatments for transgender people in prison.

The position reflects what many social conservatives have called for — and conflicts with what the American Medical Association ... lie when it comes to transgender people.”

Members of the transgender community are reeling after President Donald Trump’s executive order that would end gender-affirming medical treatments for children and teenagers under the age of 19 and another recognizing only two sexes.
