Kennedy Jr. on Thursday announced steps to restrict access to gender-affirming care for young people, arguing that such procedures “impose medical dangers and lasting harm.” “Doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect children, yet doctors around the country now provide needless and irreversible sex-rejecting procedures that violate their sacred Hippocratic oath and endanger the very lives that they are sworn to safeguard,” Secretary Kennedy said
