Providers Who Perform Transgender Surgeries on Kids Could Face Criminal Charges Pam Bondi Says

On April 23, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a directive to federal prosecutors to investigate gender-affirming surgical procedures performed on minors. In a memo to Department of Justice employees, Bondi characterized such procedures as "female genital mutilation" and stated that providers could face criminal charges under existing federal laws.

Bondi's directive follows a January executive order from President Donald Trump that suspended federal funding for healthcare providers offering gender transition treatments—a move currently facing legal challenges.

The memo also encourages the Justice Department's Civil Division to pursue cases related to gender-affirming care, including examining pharmaceutical companies for potential false advertising related to puberty blockers and sex hormones.

Medical authorities such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics affirm that gender-affirming care is medically necessary and conducted with informed consent according to established guidelines. However, many Conservative leaders, medical professionals, and parents have increasingly challenged this position, arguing that minors are too young to provide truly informed consent for life-altering surgeries and hormone therapies. They point to the rising number of "detransitioners"—individuals who regret undergoing gender transitions—as evidence that the medical community has rushed to embrace controversial treatments without fully understanding the long-term consequences.

Bondi's directive has raised concerns among healthcare professionals and advocates who support the legitimacy and necessity of gender-affirming treatments. Still, Conservatives see this move as a critical step toward protecting vulnerable children from what they view as irreversible medical harm driven by political ideology rather than sound science. They argue that the government has a moral obligation to intervene when minors are subjected to experimental procedures under the guise of progressive healthcare.
