SUMMARY: Since President Trump’s inauguration, he has signed an executive order reversing federal support for gender-affirming medical care for minors. This order prohibits funding for transitioning procedures for children under 19, including hormone therapy and surgery, and recognizes only male and female sexes. In South Carolina, a prior law (H 4624) also bans gender transition procedures for those under 18, facing legal challenges from the ACLU. Advocates warn this could exacerbate mental health issues among transgender youth, while some organizations support Trump’s decision as a move towards safer practices. The implications of the order and state law remain to be fully tested in court.

The most recent of President Trump’s executive orders since his inauguration 11 days ago affects the transgender community. The order called, Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation, is a complete reversal of federal support for access to gender-affirming medical care to children younger than 19 years old.
