Two weeks ago, Matthew Memoli, who was acting NIH director at the time, sent an e-mail to the directors of several NIH institutes. It said that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is the NIH’s parent agency, “has been directed to fund research on a few specific areas” related to what it calls “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults — a reference to gender-affirming care and surgery. “This is very important to the President and the Secretary” of the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the e-mail added.

There has been studies on this. Turns out trans individuals experience less regret than those that receive other elective and life savings surgeries. Yes there are some who regret their decision to transition but so does my dad after getting bypass surgery because he's in constant pain now. Doesn't mean bypass surgery should be outlawed. Hell, look at the percentage of people that regret breast enhancement surgery and you don't see conservatives fighting to outlaw those.
