<p>A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order banning the federal government from funding or supporting child transgender drugs and surgeries.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge Brendan Hurson granted a temporary restraining order against a pair of Trump orders, one <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting</a> federal funding from doctors who offer children transgender medicalization and the other officially recognizing only male and female sexes.</p>
<p>“This is a population with an extremely higher rate for suicide, poverty, unemployment, drug addiction,” Hurson said during the hearing in federal court in Baltimore.</p>
<p>The judge claimed that stopping transgender drugs and surgeries for children would be “horribly dangerous for anyone, for any care, but particularly for this extremely vulnerable population.”</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order</a>, signed last month, commits that the United States will not fund or support the “so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”</p>
<p>&#8220;This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end,&#8221; Trump wrote.</p>
<p>The order prompted a slew of hospitals to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hospitals-across-u-s-stop-transitioning-children-after-trump-signs-order-protecting-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pump</a> the brakes on transgender medicalization for children, including hospitals in New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Colorado, and Virginia.</p>
<p>The administration is expected to appeal the decision, and the case could end up at the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>Several progressive groups sued the administration over the move. The ACLU and Lambda Legal filed the lawsuit on behalf of PFLAG and GLMA, as well as seven anonymous trans-identifying youth under 19.</p>
<p>The attorneys general of Washington state, Oregon, and Minnesota have also sued over Trump&#8217;s transgender order in a separate case.</p>
<p>Critics, especially parents and detransitioners, have raised the alarm over transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for gender dysphoric children over the last several years.</p>
<p>In Europe, several countries have already pumped the brakes on these drugs and procedures for children. More than two dozen U.S. states have passed legislation against them as well.</p>
<p>A growing number of medical experts, including the American College of Pediatricians, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pediatricians-group-says-research-doesnt-support-gender-affirming-treatments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">say</a> the research does not support the idea that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or genital and breast surgeries benefit the physical or mental health of gender dysphoric children.</p>
<p>Transgender surgeries are not reversible, and both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones come with serious health risks. Puberty blockers can <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075">affect</a> bone growth and density and cause sexual dysfunction, voice damage, and infertility, among other issues. Cross-sex hormones can <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-young-people-in-u-s-have-nearly-doubled-recently-report-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cause</a> infertility, deadly blood clots, heart attacks, increased cancer risks of the breasts and ovaries, liver dysfunction, worsening psychological illness, and other serious conditions.</p>
