Gender dysphoria was once considered to be a very rare psychological disorder.

Given the irreversible consequences of these procedures, it’s not surprising that President Trump’s policies command robust support—polls show that 56% of Americans favor banning interventions like puberty blockers, hormone therapies and surgeries on children.[1]
