The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed more than 20 doctors and clinics that provide gender-affirming care to transgender minors.
As the Guardian reports, a July 9 DOJ press release did not identify the doctors and clinics that had been subpoenaed, nor did it specify the information the department was seeking. According to the release, the DOJ is investigating “healthcare fraud, false statements, and more.”
The release included a statement from anti-LGBTQ+ Attorney General Pam Bondi mischaracterizing providers of trans healthcare as “medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology” and warning that they would be “held accountable by this Department of Justice.”
While gender-affirming care, which encompasses a range of both surgical and nonsurgical treatments, has been endorsed by every major American medical association and leading world health authority as evidence-based, safe, and in some cases lifesaving for transgender minors, surgical intervention is rarely performed on minors and is not recommended prior to puberty.
In fact, a 2024 study out of Harvard indicated that certain gender-affirming surgeries were more prevalent among cisgender patients than trans or gender diverse patients.
