WASHINGTON (TND) — The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will appropriate nearly $700,000 in funds for a pregnancy prevention program directed at transgender males, according to disclosure documents.
A project grant from HHS to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research in California, the funds will work to encourage trans boys to use condoms during sex. This messaging, while included in most teenage sexual education programs, is not always aimed at transgender boys, researchers wrote.
Data suggest that afab trans-identified youth may be less likely to use condoms when having sex with people who have penises and are at least as likely as cisgender girls to be pregnant,” they wrote. “This health inequity must be addressed.”
Researchers continued, explaining they intend to use the funds to conduct focus groups to determine the way transgender minors make decision regarding sex. With this data, the group will then conduct “content advisory teams” before issuing the messaging with the intent of monitoring its impact on contraceptive use.
President Joe Biden has allocated funds to advance similar sexual equality initiatives in the past. The National Institutes of Health in September granted the Seattle Children’s Hospital $240K for the creation of a LGBT sex education tool. It was expected to mitigate “sexually transmitted infections, sexual risk behaviors, violence exposures and other health outcomes.”

The administration’s Bureau of Justice Assistance in July awarded $2 million in taxpayer funds to a feminist organization devoted to “addressing structural racism and toxic masculinities.” The award was one of 53 grants given to various groups, totaling $95 million.
