Boys and Girls Need Sex-Segregated Spaces

In late December, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz announced their plan to block Medicaid and Medicare funding for sex-change procedures for minors. “So-called gender affirming care has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people,” Kennedy said. “This is not medicine. It is malpractice.” Needless to say, the proposal has been met with outrage from transgender advocates and allies. Susan J. Kressly of the American Academy of Pediatrics replied that the move would “unfairly stigmatize a population of young people.”
