As Twitchy just reported, President Joe Biden put out a couple of tweets Thursday to mark Trans Day of Visibility, including a video in which he tells transgender Americans of all ages, “I’ve got your back.” This is one issue on which Biden hasn’t flip-flopped since the campaign; he made it clear early on that trans women belonged on girls’ sports teams and he’s followed through.
The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan reports that the White House is also marking the day by issuing some messaging to the press to pass along to us.
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

Here's how the White House describes "gender-affirming care" pic.twitter.com/6XHyVxkcSo

At any age, we can support trans youth by adopting gender-affirming hairstyles, gender pronouns, and restrooms and other facilities. The chart then gets into puberty blockers and hormone therapy, which is given during adolescence and is partially reversible. Gender-affirming surgeries like removing the breasts aren’t reversible and are used on adolescents on a case-by-case basis.
FWIW, this is the White House harnessing activist language to describe transgender surgeries/procedures/hormones. https://t.co/2dLjGtBJ0w

Irreversible surgery is “gender-affirming medical care,” like abortion is “women’s reproductive health care.”
The only people who knows for a fact whether these interventions are "reversible" are detransitioners.
If you're a parent or someone considering these interventions, do NOT listen to the White House's misleading propaganda.
Talk to detransitioners. https://t.co/HUbN8kXL03

We did an inspiring post on #DetransAwarenessDay in which those who had de-transitioned told their stories. It was just last summer that “60 Minutes” featured people who had de-transitioned, which triggered ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio: “Lesley Stahl, Alexandra Poolos, and Collette Richards knew exactly the harm they were causing with last night’s segment.” We guess it’s OK to celebrate any type of sexuality except for those who’ve de-transitioned.
My wife was quite a "tomboy" growing up.
If born today, I suspect she would be encouraged to transition, and there would be no children, or beautiful grandchildren, which are now some of our greatest joys….

The school probably would have considered itself a safe space and set up a secret transitioning plan.
This is the hill they're choosing to die on, huh? Please run on this message in November.

Why do we need to worry about it being reversible or not if it’s just making them into their true selves? If it needs to be reversed you’ve probably already done severe psychological and even possibly physiological damage to a child for very stupid reasons

So it’s illegal to leave a 10-year-old at home alone because they lack the judgment to not harm themselves. Democrats seem to think the same kid can decide that the gender they feel doesn’t match their biological sex?

Hey, puberty blockers are reversible, according to the chart. What long-term damage they might do isn’t listed.
