President Joe Biden‘s health team successfully pushed to completely remove age limitations for when children could begin to transition genders.

Email excerpts reveal that Biden’s point person on transgender issues urged the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to drop age requirements for transition and gender-affirming care.

The revelations come as the Supreme Court said this week it would take on a case in its next term that examines if a Tennessee ban on transgender treatment and surgeries for minors is constitutional.

Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Adm. Rachel Levine, who is a trans woman, is heading Biden’s efforts to address transgender issues.

Draft guidelines released in late 2021 recommended lowering age minimums for certain treatments, but now Levine wants to completely ditch the age requirements because she’s worried they will affect access to care.
