Rep. Randy Fine, a Florida legislator, made local news Tuesday by announcing he’d introduce legislation to ban giving drugs to or performing surgery on minors for “gender assignment.” “We should not have children making decisions that they cannot undo,” said Fine. “Now, my bill would not say that if you’re a boy and you think you’re a girl that you can’t have people call you a girl, or dress like a girl, or go to mental counseling to talk about it. It simply says you have to wait until you’re an adult.”

It’s 2022 and that’s a controversial stance to take — opponents would argue that such legislation would lead to suicides by transgender youth — but Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told Rep. Lauren Boebert that he’s in favor of using HHS funding to provide sex reassignment surgeries on minors.
"For the record, you favor HHS' funding being [used for] sex reassignment surgeries on minors?"

He's reading his statement. Who wrote it for him? He nay have written it but it could just as easily been him reading a far left talking point

I didn’t hear him say yes, though I did hear him say gender affirming, so I could guess that you might assume that he means yes. He could have answered a simple yes or no but apparently that’s too difficult for someone who wants to beat around the bush and isn’t being forthright.

Sex reassignment surgery should be banned for all minors. This would've been a unanimous opinion less than 10 years ago.

Yet you have to be 18 to get a tattoo.

There is an agenda. That is the only way this could be happening.

It's the hill they are willing to die on. And die they will. It's ironic that it will be a bloodbath for the Dems in November for the #RedWave2022

Yet as a 40-year-old biological female, a gynecologist won't perform a hysterectomy on me without a sound and valid medical reason, even though I experience unbearable periods.

This should be considered elective PERIOD and not covered by ANYTHING

Reaffirming? Which gender? Cause it seems like they are pushing this pretend stuff to the limit.

As we recently reported, the Biden administration marked Transgender Day of Visibility with a chart listing “gender-affirming” actions to take starting with toddlers.
NEW: White House messaging released today says that "early" transgender surgeries, hormone treatment, and affirmations are "crucial" for the health of kids and teens who identify as transgender. https://t.co/26zsLdGhI7
