Socialist Candidate Francesca Hong Wants Taxpayer-Funded Gender Transition Care for Kids
Breitbart ^ | 07/03/2026 | Mariane Angela

Posted on 07/04/2026 9:39:37 AM PDT by DFG

Democrat gubernatorial candidate and State Rep. Francesca Hong said she supports using public funding to expand gender-affirming care, including for transgender youth.

During a January appearance on the Take 2 Podcast, Hong called for expanding access to gender-affirming care, saying Wisconsin should invest in clinics that provide the treatment, including for transgender youth.

“We have to look at expanding health care, especially gender-affirming care. And right now, when our hospitals are under threat of providing gender-affirming care, which hospitals have paused right now,” Hong said. “We have to make sure that communities are coming together to stand up for trans rights. Look at ways that we can invest in clinics to still provide that care, and be vocal about uplifting trans joy, and defending trans lives.”

Hong also added elected officials should continue defending transgender youth and resist pressure to back away from supporting transgender rights.

“It’s important that elected officials not cave to the pressures of not standing up for trans folks,” she said.

Hong vowed to veto legislation affecting the transgender community, arguing that transgender people are being unfairly targeted and should be protected by state government.

“Our queer and trans communities contribute so much, and they are leaders, they’re educators, they’re creatives, and no one should strip anyone of their humanity. I think it’s cowardly to target a vulnerable community,” Hong stated. “A community that just wants to live, and distract us from the authoritarianism and the policies that are hurting all of our communities. I would veto any legislation that harms the trans community.”

She needs to go to her homeland, Red China, and force the taxpayers there to pay for adadictomies.

Journalism is dead.

When I was a kid in school in the sixties a school wouldn’t give you an aspirin without parental approval. Today they often conspire to keep gender dysphoria and sexual mutilation secret. I can’t believe that schools and doctors and trans favorable psychiatrists weren’t stopped dead by their lawyers and insurance carriers. I understand some of the first lawsuits from now adults who suffered this craziness are working their way to the courts. I’m hoping lawsuits will result in the entire insane aberration will go into history, filed next to lobotomies. Lobotomies too went through an amazing popularity. And I think “popularity” or “fad” are the right words.

The queer and trans communities probably contribute very little more than the Muslim community does to the betterment of America. There is nothing intrinsically beneficial to simply being a trans, queer or even Muslim, any uplifting virtue is purely dependent on the INDIVIDUAL contributions provided by the efforts of one individual or a very small group within of any of these communities. The community at large may in fact be a net liability to all the rest of society, because there is no incentive for the overall improvement of the standards of morality and citizenship, to conform with the interests of the entire society.

One of the things that really pisses me off is the Republican response to this garbage.

They really need to focus on the huge financial burden of taxpayer funded trans surgery

Full gender transition surgery costs about $150,000 and requires a very skilled reconstructive surgeons.

The cost to maintain hormone treatments is about $10K per year and these nuts want American taxpayers to foot the bill.

Whatever happened to the Democrats concern for women's quality prenatal care?

Americans are spending massive amounts of money for health insurance and getting craptasic medical care with huge deductible in return because Democrats are funding healthcare for illegals aliens, homeless and trannies.

Democrats are now prioritizing wasteful spending on confused people at the expense of hard working Americans who are footing the bills for this insanity .

Who is driving this insanity and why are they doing it?

Not sure, but Republicans need to step up and take a stand on what this is costing the US taxpayer and especially normal people on medicaid and government assistance about how much supporting government funded gender transition is destroying the quality of their health care.

I wish we would not not go along with the left’s completely false terminology for things. What they want is gender denying care. We should at least put gender affirming in quotation marks if we use their favored terminology.

I’d like neck displacement care for this communist, child mutilation-loving filthbag Hong.
