A Manhattan hospital that has performed countless procedures on gender-confused children in recent years announced on Tuesday that it officially ended its youth gender clinic following the Trump administration’s move to pull federal funding. Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone Health, which has offered gender procedures for children since at least 2020, cited the “current regulatory environment,” along with the “recent departure” of its medical director, for its “difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program,” The New York Times reported. NYU Langone previously stated on its website that it prescribes “gender-affirming medical interventions, including puberty suppression, gender-affirming hormone treatments, and gender-affirming surgery” for gender-confused children. The hospital’s website no longer mentions gender surgery for children and focuses on “mental health services.” Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect children from irreversible gender procedures by threatening to strip federal funding from hospitals that perform the procedures. Following Trump’s order last year, NYU Langone began winding down its “Transgender Youth Health Program,” canceling appointments for children, including two 12-year-olds who were supposed to start puberty blockers, The Daily Wire reported at the time. However, some parents told the Times that the hospital kept appointments for children who were already on puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Last June, the FBI set up a tip line for Americans to report “any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners” that “mutilate” children “under the guise of gender-affirming care.” The Trump administration reportedly served subpoenas to multiple hospitals last year, including NYU Langone, seeking more information on their youth gender clinics. In December, the Trump administration began implementing the president’s executive order to protect children by proposing rules to strip federal funding from hospitals that continue to perform gender procedures on children. Democrats have pushed back against Trump’s effort to go after hospitals and doctors that promote gender procedures for children. In response to Trump’s crackdown on hospitals performing gender procedures on children, New York joined a coalition of Democrat-led states that sued the Trump administration in an effort to stop the federal government’s investigation into hospitals and doctors that perform the life-altering procedures on children. President Trump’s executive action to protect children from the harmful procedures followed numerous Republican-led states banning the so-called gender-affirming treatments and procedures for minors. Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and many other states took action to protect children beginning in 2023, shortly after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh’s documentary “What is a Woman?” exposed the dangers of gender procedures. After “What is a Woman?” became one of the most-watched documentaries of the year, Walsh held a rally in Nashville and met with state leaders in multiple states to advocate for ending “child mutilation.” Thanks to recent laws passed by Republican-led states and the efforts of President Trump, the tide has turned in the debate on gender procedures for children. The Trump administration and advocates for protecting children from gender procedures celebrated another major win earlier this month when the American Society of Plastic Surgeons acknowledged that “evidence did not support genital procedures or removing the breasts of young girls who identify as boys.”
