California Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to give a direct answer when asked what age is too young for children to undergo transgender surgeries.
Speaking on former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan’s podcast, Newsom called the topic a “major problem” for the Democratic Party but stopped short of explaining his personal stance.
“Yeah, I mean look, now that I have a nine-year-old, just became nine, come on, man,” Newsom said when asked whether children as young as eight should be treated.
Jamie Reed, a self-described Democrat and a transgender clinic whistleblower, said she wasn’t satisfied with the governor’s response on “Fox & Friends.”
“He does not answer the question,” Reed said. “And for a lifelong Democrat like myself, I am incredibly disappointed that the party, this person who wants to be the leader of the party, is still not able to answer the basic science questions.”
During the podcast, Newsom suggested that the debate around transgender surgeries for minors likely played a “very significant” role in the 2024 election and may have hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the presidency.
Reed said Newsom’s hesitation to clarify his stance may be linked to a broader lack of education on the controversial health issue.
