President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday banning gender transition treatments for individuals under 19 years old.

"It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures," said Trump in a statement as reported by AP News.
