Trump ordered CMS chief Mehmet Oz to stop Medicaid from paying for gender-transition procedures on minors.

Summary

President Trump said he directed CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz to end Medicaid funding for gender-transition surgeries and related practices for minors.
In a Truth Social post he called the procedures barbaric and irreversible for children's bodies.
Medicaid is the joint federal-state insurer; the order targets public payment, not private speech.
The move follows years of fights over school secrecy rules and medicalization of minors.
Opponents frame access as care; the administration frames it as protecting kids from permanent harm on the taxpayer dime.

Taxpayers are not a vending machine for experimental identity medicine on children. Ending Medicaid payouts is the floor, not the ceiling.

This is not hate. It is adult government refusing to underwrite irreversible harm while activists rewrite biology in schools and clinics.

Countries that protect kids and enforce reality last longer than countries that treat every slogan as a civil right.

Should Medicaid ever fund child transition procedures?
