E. QI. 205.30  \nApril 22, 2025  \nMEMORANDUM FOR SELECT COMPONENT HEADS  \nFROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 􀀐  \nSUBJECT: PREVENTING THE MUTILATION OF AMERICAN CHILDREN  \nThere is a radical ideological agenda being pushed throughout every aspect of American life-from TV programming and Hollywood film production to children's books and elementary school classrooms-that teaches children to deny biological reality. Gender ideology, masked as science, teaches that children should process adolescent stress and confusion as a case of mistaken identity and that the solution is not to root out and eliminate the underlying condition but to acquiesce in it permanently through life-altering chemical and surgical intervention. That ideology, pushed by far-left politicians, celebrities, politically captured academics, and legacy media, has infected an entire generation of children, who have in tum pushed transgenderism on their peers through social media and other means. Dissenting voices are bullied into silence, and\"allies\" are praised and rewarded. Tragic and absurd as it is that 1.4% of 13-to 17-year-olds now identify as transgender, 1 that is the predictable result of a coordinated, unchecked ideological attack on America's children.  \nThe medical community, with its roots in hard science, is well-positioned to serve as a bulwark against this sociological disease. And indeed, parents who are desperate to help their confused, frustrated children have understandably turned to medical professionals for help. Unfortunately, those parents have been betrayed by politically captured profiteers at every step. These \"professionals\" have deployed junk science and false claims about the effects of so-called\"gender-affirming care\" to justify the barbaric practice of surgically and chemically maiming and sterilizing children. Between 2019 and 2023, an estimated 14,000 children received \"treatment\"for gender dysphoria, with more than 5,700 subjected to life-altering surgeries.2 The practitioners who provided this so-called \"care\" profited while their patients were left permanently disfigured, scarred, and sterilized. Those children will struggle for the rest of their lives to overcome regret, and their parents will struggle equally to overcome the guilt of ruining their children's lives on the  \n1 Azeen Ghorayshi, Report Reveals Sharp Rise in Transgender Young People in the US, N.Y.
