Dr. Kenneth Haller, a pediatrician based in St. Louis, called HHS’ actions “anti-science” during a press briefing held by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group, on Tuesday. He said efforts to restrict access to such care still allow the treatments for children with other conditions that affect hormone production, for example.
That is a verifiable fact, NBC. He didn't just say they still allow those treatments for cis children, he pointed out the fact that they do and used that as evidence for his statement that their policies have no science behind them.
Of course, when Trump issues an executive order declaring the moon is made of cheese and you'll be all like "Moon is now made of cheese" for a headline and wait until halfway through your article to quote a scientist.
HHS also announced Thursday that the Food and Drug Administration will issue warning letters to 12 manufacturers and retailers of breast binders for minors for the purposes of treating gender dysphoria, which is the distress that results from a misalignment between a person’s gender identity and birth sex, alleging that the manufacturers are participating in illegal marketing, the department official said.
What's next, going after the parents of any assigned masculine at birth kid whose hair grows too long for their tastes? Just incredibly dumb and creepy authoritarian nonsense invading families' lives for no reason whatsoever.

Don’t worry, adults will be next!
They will produce more bogus studies to support the ban (or funding cuts) on HRT and surgical interventions. Losing healthcare will just push us back underground. They have 3 years left to do so. They’re going to win.
