More than 20 subpoenas were issued in order to prohibit or limit these procedures
The government of US President Donald Trump has sent subpoenas to a series of doctors and clinics involved in minor sex change procedures as part of a plan to try to end those surgeries.
The Department of Justice issued “more than 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics involved in conducting transgender medical procedures in children” to witness and provide documentation to federal authorities under an investigation that, according to a statement issued by the one, seeks to discover “health fraud” or “misrepresentation”.
“Professionals and medical organizations that have mutilated minors to the service of a distorted ideology will be held responsible before this Justice Department,” adds US Attorney General Pam Bondi in a brief text.
A week after returning to power in January, Trump signed an executive order by stipulating that his government “will not finance, sponsor, promote, help or support the so -called ‘transition’ of one minor from one genre to another.”
Trump also assured that he would “strictly apply all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive procedures.”
His government accuses the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPath) to promote “damage to children by chemical and surgical mutilation” and not have “scientific integrity” to do so.
Since January, the New York administration has adopted and has approved aggressive measures that many jurists and civil rights defense organizations have considered as a major setback in the protection of transgender people in the United States.
