Trump Admin Ends Medicaid, CHIP Funding For ‘Trans’ Child Mutilation Procedures:

‘Children deserve our protection, not experimental interventions that pose serious risks and convey no proven benefits,’ said CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Tuesday that it is stopping all U.S. taxpayer funding of child genital mutilation surgeries and cross-sex hormones.

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced that Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will cease all funding for the “sex-rejecting procedures on children, which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations.” CMS stated that these dangerous procedures “can result in irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other lasting physiological effects.”

The directive is being implemented through a final rule, meaning it will have the force and effect of law.

“Medicaid will NO LONGER fund gender transition surgeries or hormones for minors. We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices, which result in unthinkable and irreversible harm to their young bodies,” President Donald Trump wrote on social media. “Thanks to our strong position and pressure on this issue over the past year and a half, dozens of U.S. hospitals have already ended this so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ and we expect many more to follow. Just think about all of the young, innocent, and perhaps confused children who will be spared!”

“While the Dumocrat Party wants your kids to be able to chop off their reproductive organs before they are old enough to vote, President Donald J. Trump (ME!) and the Republican Party say that is ABSURD, and we will protect America’s children,” Trump added.

CMS is under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which conducted its own review of the medical interventions on children, finding “evidence gaps, documented serious safety concerns, and concluded that the evidence supporting these interventions for children remains insufficient to justify federal taxpayer funding.”

The medical interventions are “experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit,” the agency stated. CMS also referenced the Cass Report from the United Kingdom, which exposed the international “transgender” ideological movement toward mutilating and chemically castrating children as having a hollow scientific backing.

“Children deserve our protection, not experimental interventions that pose serious risks and convey no proven benefits,” Oz stated. “By cutting off federal funds for these sex-rejecting procedures, we’re following the science, saving taxpayer dollars, and, most importantly, protecting children from potentially irreversible harm so they can truly flourish.” --->READ MORE HERE

Suddenly The Radical Pro-Trans Medical Organization WPATH Tells A Court That It’s Just Guessing:

Regulators are using WPATH standards as a set of absolutely certain and inflexible scientific rules at the exact moment that WPATH is shrugging and calling the whole thing a highly debatable guess.

For years, the “standards of care” adopted by the radical World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) have been treated as incontestable expert guidance. Deep blue states like California have used WPATH standards to expand access to transgender interventions for children, and to force health insurance companies to cover sex-rejecting procedures. Believe in science!

But WPATH just told a court that it’s only guessing, and its guidance is all just an opinion. Challenged, the science ran away.

🚨 WPATH has conceded in court that its "Standards of Care" is merely an opinion. WPATH says it represents one side of an unsettled scientific debate marked by uncertainty — and physicains & orgs that rely on WPATH as the standard of care must bear "independent responsibility."/1 pic.twitter.com/BpL5vXnsII

Rewind the tape for a moment, and start with the way WPATH’s standards of care have been used. As The Federalist has reported many times, California regulators have used those standards as a set of incontestable requirements established by rigorous scientific procedures. As we wrote in April, a legislative hearing on a measure to fund trans surgeries with taxpayer money featured extensive testimony from health care regulators who cited WPATH standards as the expert-established medical rules, handed down from the mountaintop on stone tablets:

“Plans are required to use the clinical criteria developed by nonprofit associations for the relevant clinical specialty when making medical necessity determinations. For services to treat gender dysphoria, health plans are required to use the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH, guidelines.”

WPATH has spoken. The science is settled. One does not deviate from the established clinical criteria. Let no man contest the profound wisdom of WPATH, the organization of experts. Trans everything is a scientific commandment. --->READ MORE HERE
