HHS Review Recommends Therapy Over Broader Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Youth

  • In early 2025, a 409-page report was published by the federal agency overseeing health and human services, recommending behavioral therapy as the preferred approach over broader gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender youth across the country.
  • This report followed President Donald Trump's January 2025 executive order directing HHS to review transgender treatment guidelines and restrict federal support for gender-affirming care under age 19.
  • The HHS report disputes the treatment guidelines established for transgender youth by a leading international transgender health organization, citing limited evidence of benefits and notable risks associated with gender-affirming interventions like puberty blockers.
  • Polls show 47% of registered voters oppose puberty blockers for children under any circumstances, with Republicans more opposed than Democrats , reflecting the issue’s political sensitivity.
  • The report has sparked sharp criticism from major medical groups and advocates who warn it politicizes care and may hinder access to gender-affirming treatments for youth.
