The unaccompanied minors that the Office of Refugee Resettlement works with are some of the most vulnerable children on the planet. Asking youth about whether they have a non-binary gender identity would only further confuse them, potentially leading them to follow the path of making a life-altering decision with permanent destructive consequences. Introducing such children to the concept, which is likely less common in many of the countries they are fleeing, may actively encourage them to adopt such an identity in hopes that it could give them a “special” advantage to staying in the United States. In the fundamental interest of operation upon a foundation of truth in the medical field and the right to life of the unborn, Advancing American Freedom demands that the Department of Health and Human Services withdraw the information collection revisions and reassign staff who worked on it to more suitable positions, where they are not a danger to public health.
