Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced six moves to crack down on the “malpractice” of “sex-rejecting procedures” Thursday.

“This is not medicine; it is malpractice,” Kennedy said of the transgender medical interventions euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care.” He warned that doctors have engaged in “needless and irreversible sex-rejecting procedures that violate their sacred Hippocratic Oath” to “first, do no harm.”

“Sex-rejecting procedures are neither safe nor effective treatment for children with gender dysphoria,” he declared (referring to the painful and persistent condition of identifying with the gender opposite one’s sex).

Kennedy announced six actions against these procedures during an event at HHS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

HHS has moved to establish two new rules: one preventing hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid from performing these procedures on minors; and a separate one prohibiting Medicaid dollars from funding these procedures on minors.

Kennedy also signed a declaration finding that sex-rejecting procedures “do not meet professionally recognized standards of health care,” and warning that practitioners who perform these procedures on minors would be deemed outside of these standards.

The FDA will send manufacturers warning letters on breast-binders, which are necessary for some women but are often misused in order to make girls and women appear male.

HHS is also reversing the Biden administration’s attempt to include gender dysphoria within the definition of disability.

“The Biden era amendments that designated gender dysphoria as a disability serve the financial interests of a billion-dollar industry,” Kennedy said.

The National Institutes of Health, meanwhile, has ended grants supporting transgender medicine.

Finally, the Office for Civil Rights is sending a letter to recipients of HHS funding, assuring them that health care policies that do not fund sex-rejecting procedures do not violate civil rights law.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, condemned the “dishonest narrative” of transgender ideology that “treats children like lab mice.” He urged doctors to use “the least invasive possible” methods to address gender dysphoria, such as talk therapy.

“American taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for ideological experiments on our nation’s youth,” he added.

“Pushing transgender ideology in children is predatory, it’s wrong, and it needs to stop,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary declared.

Chloe Cole, a detransitioner, spoke about her experience and condemned transgender medicine as “unscientific medical abuse that violates every tenet of medical ethics.”

“They messed with the wrong kid,” she declared to applause.

To those struggling with gender dysphoria, she said, “I want you to know that there is a better way out.”

HHS published a medical review in May finding “extremely weak evidence” for any concrete benefits from “gender-affirming care,” but many harms. This followed an executive order from President Donald Trump urging the health administration to protect kids from the interventions.

The House of Representatives passed a bill to outlaw such procedures Wednesday.

Do No Harm, an organization that opposes racial ideologies and transgender ideology in medicine, praised the announcements Thursday.

“President Trump and HHS are taking another critical step to protect children from harmful gender ideology,” Do No Harm Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb said in a statement. “The proposed rule—banning hospitals from performing sex change interventions on minors as a condition for Medicare and Medicaid participation—is common sense, evidence-based, and morally imperative.”
