Chair Cassidy on Major Doctor Group Acknowledging Dangers of Chemical & Surgical Mutilation of Children

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a statement on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) publicly acknowledging the dangers of gender transition procedures on children.

"Dangerous, irreversible gender transition surgeries on children must end. ASPS is right to acknowledge this reality. Others should follow suit," said Dr. Cassidy. "As Chairman of the HELP Committee, I will continue to work with President Trump to protect children from irreversible harm."

For years, Cassidy has been investigating major medical organizations, provider groups, and insurers for promoting gender transition procedures for children without reliable scientific data. He is calling on these entities to comply with President Trump's executive order to ensure children are not subjected to chemical and surgical castration.

Cassidy recently joined Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at an event announcing a new policy preventing tax dollars from funding these dangerous procedures for children. He also introduced the No Subsidies for Gender Transition Procedures Act to prohibit taxpayer funded gender transition procedures under Medicaid, Medicare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act.
