In short:
Donald Trump has ordered an end to funding any gender-affirming care for children under 19 across the US.
The new US president signed an executive order on Tuesday that halts any federal money or assistance for children transitioning using puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgery.
The order halts any funding for puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgical procedures used in paediatric gender-affirming care, including Medicaid funds.
The order directs that federally run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care, and calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue litigation and legislation to oppose the practice.
The order is likely to be challenged in court.
