Pence Pledges to Stop Funding Gender Surgeries and Trans Education in Schools
Former Vice President Mike Pence has pledged to take immediate action if elected president to target federal funding for gender reassignment surgery and what he calls the “transgender agenda.” His plans include opposing transgender curricula in schools and blocking funding for schools that promote transgender procedures for children. Pence also aims to overturn guidelines on gender-affirming care and transgender programs at the Pentagon. He wants to reinstate a ban on transgender individuals’ military service. These actions are part of his broader agenda to address social issues as a priority if he becomes president.
