Trump Just Ordered the NIH to Study “Transition Regret.” Here’s What That Really Means.
When the government decides which lives deserve to be studied, funded, or erased, it stops being about science—and starts being about control. That’s exactly what happened this week when the Trump regime directed the NIH to prioritize research on "transition regret" and detransition, while canceling grants for transgender health research.
This is about erasing an entire group of people from the national conversation—under the guise of research.
Why This Matters:
Let’s be clear: cherry-picking research topics to align with political ideology isn’t neutral—it’s targeted. And when those decisions affect medical research, it puts real people at risk.
By forcing the NIH to focus on "transition regret," the administration is amplifying a fringe narrative while cutting funding for evidence-based care. This directive doesn’t just marginalize transgender people—it sends a chilling message to scientists: fall in line, or lose your funding.
Meanwhile, patients lose access to critical, affirming care. Families lose trusted information. And we all lose the integrity of public health institutions we once counted on.
Actions You Can Take:
This is a political attack disguised as science. We must act—now.
📞 Call Congress
Demand they push back on politically motivated interference in the NIH.
👉 Use this script:
"I’m calling to urge you to investigate the administration’s directive to the NIH targeting transgender individuals under the guise of research. I support funding for gender-affirming care and evidence-based science, not political agendas. Please speak out."
