U.S. President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order, dubbed the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” Order, which states the United States will not “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.” A child defined as any individual under 19 years of age.
The Order directs all agencies to rescind policies based on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), while tasking the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with publishing and guiding the public on the best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.
Additionally, all agencies and department will ensure that federal funding, including research or education grants to medical institutions, which includes medical schools and hospitals, as well as government provided healthcare, like Medicaid, Medicare, or TRICARE is not used for the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
Finally, the Order directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prioritize enforcement of protections against female genital mutilation, while convening States’ Attorneys General and other law enforcement officers to coordinate the enforcement of the law. The DOJ will also work with Congress to draft, propose, and promote legislation to enact a private right of action for children and the parents of children whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals practicing chemical and surgical mutilation.

Here’s a deeper rundown on the deferred resignations for those who are not on board with the planned initiatives and outlook of President Donald J. Trump’s administration. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has detailed the email sent to federal workers yesterday in a release and workers can respond with “Resign” to opt-in to the deferred resignation.
Key points on the administration’s outlook for the workforce:
- The initiative, aptly named“Fork in the Road,” is formed around four pillars.
• Return to office: The Majority of federal employees who have been working remotely will be required to return to physical offices five days a week.
• Performance culture: Updated performance standards to “reward and promote” people who exceed the expectations of higher.
• More streamlined and flexible workforce: The downsizing and restructuring of a number of federal agencies. Using furloughs and reclassifications to “at-will” statuses to partially achieve this.
• Enhanced standards of conduct: Employees that fail to act in accordance with the law and soon to be amended codes of ethics and conduct will be “prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination.”
