"You are perfect the way God made you" - Trump calls for the permanent ban and criminalization of sex changes for minors in the US.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his firm stance against gender-affirming medical procedures for minors, calling for a permanent nationwide ban. Speaking on the issue, he emphasized that children should not undergo medical or surgical interventions related to gender transitions, declaring, “You are perfect the way God made you.” Trump also advocated for criminal penalties against healthcare providers who perform such procedures on minors, aligning with conservative efforts to restrict access to gender-related medical treatments for children.

This position has been a key component of Trump's political platform as he seeks a return to the White House. He and many of his supporters argue that minors lack the maturity to make life-altering medical decisions and that parents and medical professionals should not be allowed to facilitate such procedures. Several Republican-led states in the U.S. have already enacted laws restricting or outright banning gender-affirming care for minors, sparking ongoing legal battles between advocacy groups and lawmakers.

On the other hand, opponents, including LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations and medical professionals, argue that gender-affirming care is vital for the well-being of transgender youth. They claim that banning such treatments could lead to increased mental health struggles and higher risks of suicide among affected individuals. The debate continues to fuel political discourse in the U.S., as both sides push for policies that reflect their beliefs on the rights of minors, parental authority, and medical ethics.
