Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 14, p. 462. Written by Roger Severino.

Fund studies on the negative effects of gender transition care

The document says “shouldWho acts: NIHHow: internal managementp. 462 in the PDF
What the document says

“it should fund studies into the short-term and long-term negative effects of crosssex interventions”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 462

The chapter names affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries, and asks for study of the likelihood of desistence if young people are given counseling that does not include medical or social interventions. It says the agency has been at the forefront of pushing what it calls junk gender science.

What the document actually says

“it should fund studies into the short-term and long-term negative effects of crosssex interventions”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 462
That sentence, in plain words

The NIH should pay for studies on the harms of this care. Both short term and long term.

What this is about

Some young people get medical care to change how their body looks. The book wants studies into harm from that care. It also wants studies of counseling instead.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
