联邦贸易委员会曾表示,其正在调查“消费者是否正在或曾被暴露于关于‘性别确认护理’的虚假或无依据言论”。

以下是详细信息:

  • 该调查启动于唐纳德·特朗普总统发布行政命令之后,特朗普要求美国仅承认男性和女性两种性别,并指示各机构终止所有针对未成年人性别确认护理的联邦资助或支持。
  • 这两家医疗团体于2月提起诉讼,称联邦贸易委员会向他们索要文件是一场旨在压制他们声音的报复运动的一部分。
  • 法官批准了他们的初步禁令申请,表示他们很可能在报复主张的实质审理中胜诉。
  • 美国儿科学会提起的类似诉讼仍在等待华盛顿另一名法官的审理,该法官尚未就该团体的禁令申请作出裁决。

United States of America

May 7 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Thursday derailed an investigation by the U.S. Federal ​Trade Commission, a consumer protection agency, into ‌two medical groups that support gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg blocked the FTC from ​demanding documents like internal communications and financial ​records from the Endocrine Society and World ⁠Professional Association for Transgender Health.

The FTC has said ​it is investigating whether “consumers are being or have ​been exposed to false or unsupported claims about ‘gender-affirming care.’”

Here are some details:

  • The investigation came after orders by President ​Donald Trump that the United States would recognize ​only two sexes, male and female, and directed agencies to ‌end ⁠all federal funding or support for gender-affirming care for minors.
  • The two medical groups filed lawsuits in February, saying the FTC demanded documents from ​them as part ​of a ⁠retaliation campaign meant to silence them.
  • The judge granted their requests for ​preliminary injunctions, saying they were likely to ​prevail ⁠on the merits of their retaliation claims.
  • A similar lawsuit by the American Academy of Pediatrics is ⁠still ​pending before a different judge ​in Washington, who has not yet ruled on that group’s injunction ​request.
