This is the beginning of the end of the fraudulent and pseudoscientific "troon care" industry.
"The
Department of Justice on Wednesday announced it issued more than 20 subpoenas to doctors and
clinics suspected of performing
transgender “medical procedures” on minors, part of a sweeping investigation into what the department described as deceptive and potentially criminal practices in the medical industry.
The announcement came the same day the
Federal Trade Commission held a Washington, D.C. workshop focused on the “Dangers of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ For Minors”. DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle also confirmed the Trump administration is preparing draft legislation and “working with Congress” on existing criminal laws related to “female genital mutilation to more robustly protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation.”
“Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology will be held accountable by this Department of Justice,” Attorney General
Pam Bondi said in a statement confirming the subpoenas. The department said it is investigating violations, including
healthcare fraud and false statements, though it did not name the clinics or doctors in its brief press release.
The subpoenas mark a new phase in the Trump administration’s broader push to end the promotion and subsidization of transgender surgeries for minors. Within days of taking office in January, President
Donald Trump signed an
executive order declaring that the federal government would no longer “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.”
While the DOJ pursues legal accountability, the
Federal Trade Commission is weighing whether certain practices in the gender medicine industry violate consumer protection laws. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said Tuesday the agency will issue a public request for information next week, giving the public 60 days to weigh in.
Ferguson said the agency is examining whether medical professionals or institutions have misrepresented the benefits and downplayed the risks of transgender procedures for minors, something the FTC views as squarely within its mandate.
“Experience has taught us that the more vulnerable the population, the more likely they are to be targeted with deception,” Ferguson said at the workshop. “Refusing to investigate these health claims merely because one political party supports them would be to politicize choice.”

Dear Fat Dumb Gay Al,
DEI was outlawed by a SCOTUS case that was literally about Harvard.
I thought you were supposed to be a lawyer.
