NOTICE
Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM, February 14 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate, and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
Behavioral Health
Stigma and discrimination can increase the burden of mental health issues on Two-Spirit/LGBTQI+ people, who can suffer from the same conditions as everyone else, but have unique experiences and feelings that require appropriate treatment.
