Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. detonated the entire “gender-affirming care” narrative

This is a watershed moment.

The medical establishment just lost its grip — and there’s no pretending anymore.

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. detonated the entire “gender-affirming care” narrative today, announcing that HHS will now restrict and reject the very framework that defined it for years.

Kennedy tore into the doctors and medical community that allowed this travesty to happen:

“Doctors across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex rejecting procedures that violate their sacred Hippocratic Oath, endangering the very lives they’re sworn to safeguard.”

“The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, peddled the lie that chemical and surgical sex rejecting procedures could be good for children who suffer from gender dysphoria.”

“They betrayed the estimated 300,000 American youth ages 13 to 17, conditioned to believe that sex can be changed. They betrayed their Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. So-called gender affirming care has done psychological and physical damage to vulnerable young people.”

This is a watershed moment.

“This is not medicine, it is malpractice.”

“We’re done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well-being of children.”

“Peer-reviewed report published by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health last month confirms that sex rejecting procedures impose medical dangers and lasting harm on children who receive these interventions.”

“Today we’re taking six decisive actions guided by gold standard science and the week one executive order from President Trump to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation.”

“This morning I signed a declaration: sex rejecting procedures are neither safe nor effective treatment for children with gender dysphoria.”
