GUARD Act aims to prevent states from receiving funding if they discriminate against parents opposing gender-affirming treatments for minors.
The GUARD Act, or Guaranteeing Unalienable and Anatomical Rights for Dependents Act, amends the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to disqualify states from receiving funding if they discriminate against parents or guardians who oppose medical, surgical, pharmacological, psychological treatment, or social changes related to gender identity for minors. This includes practices such as transitioning or affirming a minor's gender identity if it is inconsistent with their biological sex.
