US HHS Report Links 'Gender Ideology' to Political Violence

<p>The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a report linking 'gender ideology' to leftwing authoritarianism and political violence. Critics, including scientists, have described the study as poorly conducted and politically motivated, which may contribute to increased politicization of science and health.</p><p>This report follows recent actions by the administration to limit access to gender-affirming care. On Friday, the Department of Justice reached an agreement with a New York hospital to cease offering pediatric gender-affirming care. Following the Trump administration's investigations, numerous hospitals have stopped providing gender-affirming care, which is considered a standard treatment.</p>
