Trump Bans Child Mutilation Funding, Restores Military Policy, and Reinstates Fired Troops

Segment 1: Trump Bans Federal Funding for Child Gender Surgeries
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning federal funding for gender-affirming treatments for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries. Several hospitals have already halted such procedures to comply. Meanwhile, some state officials, like New York’s Attorney General, are pushing back, urging providers to continue offering care despite the ban.

Segment 2: Trump Bans Transgenders from Military Service
Trump has reinstated a military policy restricting transgender service members, citing concerns over readiness and discipline. Legal challenges have already begun, with lawsuits arguing the move violates equal protection rights under past Supreme Court rulings.

Segment 3: Fired Military Troops Reinstated with Back Pay
In a major reversal, Trump has ordered reinstatement of service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. Over 8,200 troops are now eligible to return to duty, receiving back pay and benefits. Critics and supporters debate whether this strengthens or undermines military policy.
