In the News…
Representative Dan Crenshaw’s provision to block federal funding for all transgender medical interventions passed in the House as part of the president’s “big, beautiful bill” this past week. The legislation, which awaits action in the Senate, would prohibit coverage of transgender procedures under Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Congressman Crenshaw stated, “Gender transition procedures are the lobotomy of our generation. So-called ‘gender-affirming care’ isn’t healthcare—it’s fringe science with no proven benefit and massive risks.”
At the time it passed through the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Crenshaw said, “President Trump has already done an executive action on this, but it needs to be codified for it to really take effect.“
“You got to protect these kids, the science is clear at this point,” Representative Crenshaw added. “Stop doing pseudo-science, scientific experiments on children who would be better off in therapy.“
