U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Wednesday aimed at curbing discrimination against transgender youth and drying up federal funding for the controversial practice of so-called conversion therapy.

"You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You do belong," Biden said during an event marking Pride month at the White House.

Biden's order asks the federal health and education departments to expand access to gender-affirming medical treatments, and asks agencies to ensure federally-funded programs do not offer conversion therapy.

The move comes as some states have introduced what the White House calls "anti-LGBTQI+" laws, a reference to bills barring classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation and blocking access to healthcare for young transgender persons, as well as restricting participation in sports.
