A group of transgender and nonbinary state legislators sent a letter to the Biden administration criticizing its decision to oppose gender-affirming surgery for minors.
In the letter, the lawmakers said transgender youth in America have been under relentless legislative assault by right-wing politicians over the last several years. The biggest thing Republicans have done is placing bans on “evidence-based, mentally necessary healthcare” for transgender kids, they argued.
“One bulwark against this wave of demonization and denial of care has been the clear, consisted messaging of President Joe Biden,” the group wrote.
Their response comes after the White House said earlier this week that the administration supports gender-affirming care for minors, but believes gender-affirming surgical care should be reserved for adults.
The statement drew criticism from LGTBQ organizations and those who say the administration has supported transgender youth in the past but is now abandoning them.
“By stating that some forms of healthcare for transgender people should be limited solely to adults, the administration is surrendering the health care of young transgender people as something to be negotiated in the political domain, rather than something that needs to be carefully considered and decided by the medical community, by the parents of the transgender youth, and by the youth themselves,” the letter said.
The letter was signed by Montana state Reps. Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell, state Rep. Gerri Cannon, Minnesota state Reps. Brion Curran and Leigh Finke and Michigan state Rep. Emily Dievendorf.
The group of lawmakers said they have fought for transgender rights across the country and know how getting care for a transition can make or break having a happy life.

Absolute submission is mandatory.
Perhaps not, but the whole world revolves around them, don’t you know?
"When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God, nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and pegleg surgery."
-- Bill Maher
what “these guys” are demanding, is my tax money to support AN ELECTIVE LIFESTYLE, not a mandatory lifestyle.
I determine any lifestyle that demands a participant re-arrange their physical body, through metal or ink adornment, or physiological attachment, insertion, or removal of anatomical parts, an elective style, and therefore, does not warrant my interest, my support, or my tax money.
Properly names is genital-mutilation surgery.
Gee... Why would grown degenerate trannies want sexually confused and vulnerable children to butcher their genitals.
That’s a great quote from Bill Maher.
The time to be nice is OVER.
THESE people (trans) are mentally ill and are now nolonger just being themselves.
They ARE a danger to our society and our way of life.
they are after our children, trying to make it seem logical to expose young minds to deviant ways and make being deviant socially acceptable.
there is no place for deviant life styles in our children's or adult lives.
SATAN is winning hearts and minds every time one of these sexual demons show up in public.
“The group of lawmakers said they ... know how getting care for a transition can make or break having a happy life.”
Their personal experience should be required to posit that ‘knowledge’.
These are sexual deviants with hermaphrodite aspirations.
There is nothing gender affirming about it. It is simply genital mutilation. It is used to deny the sex to which the victim was born.
Suicide risks are 1200% higher after ‘gender-affirming care’ surgery:
