Trump signs executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for kids

https://apnews.com/live/trump-presidency-updates-day-9#00000194-aef1-d553-abbd-fef9fcd50000

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under age 19.

It’s the latest push by Trump to reverse policies set by the Biden administration to protect transgender people and their care. On Monday, Trump directed the Pentagon to conduct a review that is likely to lead to them being barred from military service.

The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care, and calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue litigation and legislation to oppose the practice.

That's a strange age-break. 18-year-olds are grouped with minors?

What bit of weird regulation/legislation produced that?
