Prioritizing Evidence over Ideology
Join our Call to Action
By now, many of you are familiar with our origin story: Restore Childhood was born when our federal, state, and local governments imposed unscientific policies on children across the United States during COVID-19.
We are a national nonprofit that has forged strong relationships with parents, doctors, and advocates who stood up against these measures.
In 2022, we introduced the Urgency of Normal Toolkit to empower parents to prioritize evidence over politics and help restore normalcy for their children.
Today, childhood is under attack, once again.
Once again, politics triumph over scientific evidence. The school-to-clinic pipeline, a concept unfamiliar to many until recently, is a well-traveled path that begins in the classroom and tragically leads to irreversible surgical interventions for our children and adolescents.
Just as teachers' unions influenced CDC guidance on school reopening and masking, special interests are now dictating the Department of Health and Human Services' guidance on transgender health, which impacts millions of America’s children.
Newly uncovered evidence reveals a troubling pattern of governmental interference in medical organizations and health policy agencies, promoting unproven guidelines that harm children with gender dysphoria.
The New York Times recently revealed court documents showing that the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health, Admiral Rachel Levine, MD, communicated with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and advised them to remove age restrictions for medical and surgical treatments in developing their Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8 guidelines released in 2022.
Disturbing unscientific trends of rushed medical transitioning and social transitioning in schools without parental knowledge led us to create An Urgent Conversation to equip you with tools to advocate for your children.
However, this latest revelation of government corruption compels us to take further action.
This week, we released our letter urging the Department of Health and Human Services to align with scientific evidence and revise its guidance to protect and restore normal childhood.
We call on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to update its guidelines with quality scientific evidence and recommendations that support gender dysphoric children and do not cause irreversible damage.
We must act now to halt this pattern of health policy corruption that is causing irreversible harm to children.
