⚡️U.S. President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order, dubbed the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” Order, which states the United States will not “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.” A child defined as any individual under 19 years of age.
The Order directs all agencies to rescind policies based on guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), while tasking the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with publishing and guiding the public on the best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.
Additionally, all agencies and department will ensure that federal funding, including research or education grants to medical institutions, which includes medical schools and hospitals, as well as government provided healthcare, like Medicaid, Medicare, or TRICARE is not used for the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
Finally, the Order directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prioritize enforcement of protections against female genital mutilation, while convening States’ Attorneys General and other law enforcement officers to coordinate the enforcement of the law. The DOJ will also work with Congress to draft, propose, and promote legislation to enact a private right of action for children and the parents of children whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals practicing chemical and surgical mutilation.

Legacy social media is abuzz with the news that Twitter is partnering with Visa to enable peer-to-peer payments. To the inexperienced, Twitter embracing the value for value model could seem like a positive step. However, there's more meat to this story. Twitter has a history of censoring users. Why would anyone want their money to be subject to the same censorship as their communications? Better solutions exist.
