This bill would prohibit the federal government from funding any research or publications related to gender transition treatments for people under age 18. This includes research on hormone treatments and surgical procedures for minors, as well as studies that gather evidence about these interventions. The prohibition applies broadly to all federal funding sources and is based on the bill's definition of sex as determined solely by reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The legislation does not specify any funding amounts or implementation timeline, as it simply restricts how existing federal research dollars can be spent. The bill would affect medical researchers, healthcare providers, and government agencies like the National Institutes of Health that currently support research in this area.
