A Minnesota children’s hospital plans to resume sex change procedures for minors, flying in the face of President Trump’s executive order banning the practice. 

Last January, Trump signed the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” Executive Order, which restricts sex-change procedures for minors by cutting federal funding to institutions that practice the satanic procedures.

“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, 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,” Trump wrote in the order.

It can be recalled that former MAGA firebrand Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) led an effort to codify the President’s executive order last year, when the House passed her Protect Children’s Innocence Act.

The bill would make it a crime for sex-change surgery and hormonal treatments to be provided to minors and leave parents who allowed their child to be mutilated subject to prosecution.

However, the RINO-controlled Senate, led by Leader John Thune (R-SD), did not even vote on the bill.

Now, states are flaunting Trump’s executive order after a federal judge ruled in favor of 21 blue states that sued the Trump Administration.

United States District Court for the District of Oregon Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that the executive branch lacked the authority to unilaterally implement a ban on so-called gender affirming care for minors due to a lack of Congressional action.

Per MPR New:

Children’s Minnesota announced Monday that it has resumed all services in its Gender Health program, some of which had been temporarily paused on Feb. 27.

The decision follows a federal court ruling in March that overturned a previous attempt to restrict gender-affirming care. This ruling, resulting from a lawsuit filed by Minnesota and a coalition of states, blocks the Trump administration from limiting access to such care.

“Offering science- and research-based health care to transgender and gender diverse youth is part of Children’s Minnesota’s vision of being every family’s essential partner in raising healthier children,” a spokesperson for the hospital said in a statement.

In February, Children’s Minnesota announced the temporary pause on prescribing puberty-suppressing medications and pubertal hormones to patients under the age of 18 in its Gender Health Program for Children. This pause was a reaction to federal actions targeting pediatric health systems that provide such care.

A spokesperson for the hospital previously said that this was not the decision Children’s Minnesota wanted to make, but it felt necessary to protect both its providers and the hospital itself.

This comes amid a lawsuit from the Trump Administration against Minnesota alleging sex-based discrimination for allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.
