Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act

This bill would bar the use of federal money to pay for research or publications about gender transition in people under age 18. The ban includes observational studies that collect evidence on hormone treatments or surgeries given to minors. It applies when the research is for the purpose of affirming a minor's view of their sex or identity that differs from their sex. The bill defines "sex" as based only on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The ban would apply regardless of any other law.
