President Donald Trump ’s administration releases a review of transgender health care.

The review advocates for a greater reliance on behavioral therapy rather than broad gender-affirming medical care for youths with gender dysphoria.

The report is in response to an executive order Trump issued days into his second term that says the federal government must not support gender transitions for anyone under age 19 .

A judge has blocked key parts of the order, which includes denying research and educational grants for medical schools, hospitals.

The 2023 update to the 2015 finding is no longer on the agency’s website.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly pledged to practice “radical transparency,” his department did not release any information about who authored the study.

The report says medical groups have relied on medical treatment rather than behavioral therapy for transgender youth.
