New York Attorney General, Letitia James, warned the hospitals on Monday that they do not follow President Donald Trump’s Directive to prohibit sex change procedures for minors, arguing that making it violate state law.
Trump’s Executive Order (EO), which was signed last week, was titled “protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation.” Its objective is to restrict “chemical and surgical” sex change procedures For minors.
“Throughout the country today, medical professionals mutilan and sterilize a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false statement that adults can change the sex of a child through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” says the EO. “This dangerous trend will be a stain in the history of our nation, and must end.”
The statement continues to declare that the United States “will not finance, sponsor, promote, help or support the so -called” transition “of one child from one sex to another.”

“Regardless of the availability of federal funds, we wrote to remind you of more its obligations to comply with the laws of the state of New York,” he said.

“The puberty blockers, the main one is Lupron, which we use for prostate cancer, according to enough,” Siegel said. “I mean, interferes with bone growth, can potentially interfere with fertility if combined with hormones and can interfere with thought and cognition. I do not think we can say that puberty blockers with hormones do not have long. Side effects In terms, they do it. “
“Surgery, we are talking about mastectomies, we are talking about higher and lower surgeries. I think that is something that is not reversible and that should never be done in children,” added the doctor. “The defenders of this will say: ‘Well, the more I expect, the more the child suffers.’ I think there is a contradictory investigation into that.
Siegel also emphasized the importance of mental health treatment for adolescents and warned about the seriousness of the decision to undergo sex change procedures, which could be irreversible.
“You have a child, they are having gender confusion. Did they receive enough mental health advice?” Siegel said. “Did they have the opportunity to develop?
