The Daily Wire is celebrating President Donald Trump’s executive order banning the federal government from funding or supporting child transgender drugs and surgeries.
On Tuesday, Trump signed an order committing that the United States will not fund or support the “so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
“This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end,” the order stated.
The Daily Wire has worked for years to combat child transgender medicalization, which can include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, double mastectomies of healthy breasts for girls, and genital surgeries for both boys and girls to try to look like the opposite sex.
“It is a great day for The Daily Wire,” CEO Jeremy Boreing said at a town hall Wednesday evening celebrating Trump’s executive order.
Trump’s actions on this issue “should bring an immediate and dramatic end to what’s been a true period of national disgrace, which I think will be remembered as no less evil than slavery or abortion,” Boreing said.
Boreing said he wanted to take a moment to celebrate the company’s wins on the transgender issue.
“There are a lot of people in the conservative movement who deserve a lot of credit for this victory, but a lot of the people who deserve the most credit are sitting right here in this room today,” he said. “To put it bluntly, The Daily Wire has been leading on this issue from the very day that we were founded. Nobody has fought harder than we have on this issue.”
In 2015, founding Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro debated a trans-identifying man, Zoey Tur, who told him at one point, “you cut that out now or you’ll go home in an ambulance.”
“Now that seems mildly inappropriate for a political discussion,” Shapiro responded. “I’m sorry, it’s not rude to say that someone who is biologically a male is a male.”

Our 2021 investigation into the alleged coverup by Loudoun County Public Schools — launched after a boy wearing a skirt was accused of entering a girls’ bathroom and sexually assaulting a ninth-grade girl — alarmed parents and became a flashpoint in the national discussion.
In the wake of the story, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, pledged to be a voice for concerned parents as he was running for office, a promise that helped him win the election.
Matt Walsh, whose Daily Wire podcast has focused specifically on gender ideology in recent years, starred in the hit documentary “What is a Woman?” which galvanized the criticism of gender ideology across the country.
Walsh has repeatedly emphasized that transgender drugs and surgeries “mutilate” and often “sterilize” children, which mirrors the language in Trump’s order, “Protecting Children From Chemical And Surgical Mutilation.”
In October 2022, Walsh held the “Rally to End Child Mutilation” in Nashville, which came on the heels of his exposé on nearby Vanderbilt University’s pediatric transgender gender clinic offering these drugs and surgeries to children.
That investigation prompted Tennessee lawmakers to bring forward legislation banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries on children, and Walsh testified before Tennessee lawmakers about it. The legislation is now before the Supreme Court, and Walsh spoke in front of the court in December as justices heard the case.
The Daily Wire has reported on several other children’s hospitals offering these drugs and procedures as well, including Texas Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Michael Knowles, another Daily Wire podcast host who has hammered the dangers of gender ideology, went viral in 2023 for his language condemning transgenderism during a speech at CPAC.
“There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is all or nothing,” Knowles said in his remarks. “If it is false, then for the good of society and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely, the whole preposterous ideology at every level.”
The Daily Wire has reported on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), including the group’s decision to remove the minimum age recommendations for minors to receive puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.
Trump’s order calls WPATH guidance “junk science,” and agencies are directed to throw out policies based on it.
We have relentlessly covered gender ideology in schools as well, reporting on schools affirming children’s new gender identities behind their parents’ backs, students being exposed to pornographic books at school, teachers being forced to use incorrect pronouns, and children bunking with members of the opposite sex on overnight trips.
We have reported extensively on males encroaching on women’s sports, highlighting female athletes who have been seriously injured by trans-identifying male players, lost out on victories, and felt violated sharing a locker room with male teammates.
We have also reported on the nightmare situations parents find themselves in when their children are caught up in gender ideology, including an investigation into a San Francisco father fighting for custody of his toddler son who he said was being raised non-binary by the boy’s mother. He eventually won full custody of his son.
In Canada, another father, who was featured anonymously in “What is a Woman?” was thrown in jail after “misgendering” his trans-identifying teenage daughter, The Daily Wire reported.
Similarly, we have covered the growing number of detransitioners, young adults who say they regret taking hormone drugs and getting gender surgeries, and share how it has affected them.
Daily Wire hosts were initially criticized as harsh for their stance, but as the harms of gender ideology have come to light, more conservatives, and even many moderates, have come out against it.
Now, the President of the United States has banned the transgender medicalization of children in a win for every critic who called out the dangers.
