President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday seeking to limit access to gender transition surgeries for people younger than 19, marking the president’s latest policy move against transgender rights.

The order directs that federally-run insurance programs exclude coverage for gender affirming care for those under 19 and calls on the Justice Department to pursue litigation to oppose the practice.

The order reinstates a policy from Trump's first term that prohibited trans people from enlisting and barred those already in the military from transitioning.

The order attempts to end federal funding or support for gender-transition care for people under the age of 19. It is set to face legal challenges.

President Donald Trump directed the federal government not to help with gender transitions for individuals under the age of 19 in an executive order.
