Trump uses made up “science” to invalidate trans people. Experts in uproar.

FROM THE ARTICLE

Physicians for Reproductive Health is cited for issuing one of the strongest early responses to the report. The article highlights comments from PRH President Dr. Jamila Perritt, who states that the report’s claims are “not grounded in scientific or medical evidence” and describes it as pseudoscience rooted in “hateful ideological language.”

The Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has released an updated 400-page report on pediatric gender dysphoria that claims gender-affirming care for trans youth is harmful and insufficiently evidenced.

It is being promoted by HHS as a landmark, “peer-reviewed” document. But within hours of publication, major medical organizations, researchers, and LGBTQ advocates were describing it in very different terms: pseudoscience and politics dressed up as science.
