Research priorities include a more thorough investigation and characterization of the short- and long-term outcomes on physical and mental health associated with gender-affirming care,&#8221; the document continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During an exchange with Republican Congresswomen Lauren Boebert on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra expressed support for taxpayer funded gender alterations for children.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this gender affirming care, Mr. Secretary, have there been tax dollars put forward to fund mastectomies, metonymies and hysterectomies for sex reassignment purposes for minors with gender dysphoria?&#8221; Boebert asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, Americans are entitled to receive healthcare services.
