From Breitbart:

Spokesman Tobin Klinger said the hospital system will still offer such procedures to adults, but will stop so-called “gender affirming care” to new patients under the age of 18, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

…

The center had not done a “gender-affirming” surgery on a minor since 2023, but will now stop providing hormones and puberty blockers to new patients, the outlet reported.

Asher McMaher, executive director of Trans Up Front, said current transgender pediatric patients at Rush will still be able to continue.

As IFA covered at the time, President Trump signed an executive order in late January cutting federal funding for institutions that perform trans surgeries on or prescribe trans medications for children. Although this order has been held up in legal limbo, it is still protecting minors by forcing medical centers like Rush to change their practices.

Rush is only the latest institution to cancel its trans treatments for minors. Other centers and hospitals have already instituted changes, and Breitbart notes that the nation’s largest provider of pediatric “gender-affirming care” will shut down on July 22.

This is an answer to our prayers. Let’s pray that the President’s executive order continues to stop hospitals and medical centers from irreversibly harming children!
