'A seismic change': Trump wants LGBTQ+ material axed from sex ed

Source: msn/USA Today

11h

The Trump administration is telling organizations working to prevent teen pregnancy that they must stop teaching content that doesn’t align with the administration’s views on transgender people and parental rights or they'll risk losing their federal funding.

Seventy-three organizations – including local health departments, community groups and universities – receive a portion of the $101 million budget for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program each year. The groups serve more than 300,000 youth, mostly in school settings.

"This is a seismic change," said Adrian Shanker, the former deputy assistant secretary for health policy under President Joe Biden. "This is a program that has been effective at keeping teens across the country from getting pregnant, so this should be a universally appreciated goal."

The Department of Health and Human Services policy, announced in a July 1 memo to grantees, bans grant-funded programs from teaching about sex that is not heterosexual vaginal intercourse. It also bans “the eroticization of birth control methods” and bans any content on creating more pleasurable sexual experiences. The policy goes on to prohibit any discussion of youth experiencing gender dysphoria or expressing transgender identities.

Study Shows Transgender Americans Fear Losing Medical Care
July 16, 2025

Introduction:

(Eureklaert) Gender-diverse individuals not only fear losing their access to gender-affirming care but may resort to self-harm or questionable alternatives if it disappears, according to new research from the University of Vermont (UVM) published July 16 in JAMA Network Open.
Teresa Graziano, a professor of nursing at UVM and lead author of the study, surveyed 489 gender-diverse Americans 18 and over about their expectations for medical care after President Donald Trump campaigned on rolling back protections for the nearly two million trans, nonbinary, and intersex individuals in the United States. Gender-affirming care (GAC) includes surgical procedures, hormonal treatments, or mental health services for individuals with gender dysphoria. The findings of Graziano’s study were stark: Every respondent thought they would lose access to care, nearly a third reported they would consider some form of do-it-yourself hormone therapy, and over 21 percent expressed either active or passive suicidal ideation.

“This is a population that already feels that their access to care is constantly under threat, and so when you have somebody going into power that is campaigning on removing their access to care they believe it,” says Graziano, a registered nurse who uses they/them pronouns. “It was startling.”
The study closed on Inauguration Day, January 20. Since then, a series of Executive Orders has been issued preventing the U.S. government from recognizing more than two sexes—male and female—and directing federal agencies and programs to work towards banning gender-affirming care for trans youth. Additional orders include proposals to prohibit gender-affirming care as an essential benefit for patients on health insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act. However, those orders are currently tied up in the courts. In June, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, opening the door for other states to do the same.

“I want be clear that there is no federal ban on care right now,” Graziano says, adding that most providers are still caring for patients.

Thankfully it appears that Kavanaugh and Barrett are not interested. Even if the case is taken up, I expect that they'll uphold Obergefell.
