‘Sex-rejecting procedures’: Trump works to cut funding of trans ideology overseas

One of Joe Biden’s favorite beliefs was transgenderism. He promoted it for all age groups in America, and even pushed for funding for overseas interests to promote the ideology.

For example, non-governmental organizations long have operated as activists for the science-defying beliefs that men can become women, or vice versa.

A report at the Federalist explains NGOs have lobbied for the agenda “under the guise of global humanitarian assistance.”

“In one case, USAID was funding three transgender clinics in India. Another USAID grant issued $15 million for condoms for the Taliban. Another $47,020 funded a transgender opera in Colombia,” the report said.

Already, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has worked to block taxpayer funds from those programs.

“The real work of NGOs – from disaster relief to providing health care to impoverished areas – is too important to allow ideologues to use it to instead promote the erasure of women and biological sex,” the report said.

But now the battle has moved a step beyond, as President Donald Trump has expanded the Mexico City Policy, which blocked U.S. money from going to groups that promote or support abortion, so that it now halts funding for gender ideology activists.

“The Department does not believe taxpayer dollars should support sex-rejecting procedures, directly or indirectly for individuals of any age. A person’s body (including its organs, organ systems, and processes natural to human development like puberty) either healthy or unhealthy based on whether they are operating according to their biological functions,” the policy states.

The plan is that under Trump’s Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance NGO’s must affirm “the reality of two distinct biological sexes and organize single-sex spaces where appropriate in accordance with those categories to continue receiving funding from the United States.”

Falling under those requirements now is some $30 billion in foreign spending related to global health, the report said.

It reverses Biden’s claim that “advancing the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons around the world” is a priority for America.

Activists have been enraged, the report said, including Keifer Buckingham of the Council for Global Equality who said the move was “about weaponizing U.S. foreign assistance.”

But, the Federalist report explained, “They are missing the point: standing up for biological truth is not an ideological agenda. Indeed, the transgender lobby has moved so quickly in its political and cultural goals that it has forgotten its most basic claim. Namely, the idea that men can magically become women would be opposed and labeled lunacy, even by the most liberal Democrats, as recently as 15 years ago.”

Further, nearly two-thirds of Americans support making it illegal to use tax money to fund transgender actions.
