Trump slams Biden administration on transgender policies

Former president Donald Trump slammed the Biden administration’s endorsement of surgery and medical therapy for transgender minors at a rally in Michigan on Saturday.

“This week the Biden administration released guidance endorsing hormone therapy, puberty blockers and sex-changing surgeries for children and minor youth,” Trump told the crowd in Grand Rapids.

“Can you imagine a child and then they grow up and they say ‘why the hell did you do that to me mom or dad or government?’”

On Thursday — the International Transgender Day of Visibility —  the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs released a document titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.”

The same day, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network, another subset of DHHS, released a more detailed twin document titled, “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care.”
