The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a report linking "gender ideology" to left-wing authoritarianism and political violence, a study that scientists have criticized as poorly conducted and "nakedly political". This report comes amid efforts by the administration to limit access to gender-affirming care, including a recent agreement between the Department of Justice and a New York hospital to cease providing pediatric gender-affirming care.
The move has raised concerns about the politicization of science and health, potentially leading to further restrictions on gender-affirming care and increased politicization of the medical field.
