From the article: "The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a child safety nonprofit that works closely with the government and major tech platforms, has recently removed publications that reference queer and transgender children from its website. The removals come amid reports that NCMEC was ordered to cull mentions of LGBTQ+ issues under threat of losing government funding, part of President Donald Trump’s push to eradicate recognition of trans people in the US."

From the article: "The Trump administration’s relentless campaign against transgender Americans has taken another dangerous turn. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a critical resource for tracking and protecting at-risk youth, has erased all references to LGBTQ+ and particularly trans children from its public materials. The Verge reports that the purge came after the Department of Justice threatened to pull the organization’s federal funding if it didn’t comply with the administration’s anti-trans directives."

From the article: "After years of screaming “save the children” while baselessly accusing others of exploiting kids, the Trump administration is now trying to destroy the actual infrastructure that saves children. This one crosses from standard MAGA hypocrisy into genuinely evil territory."
