Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for doctors who perform gender reassignment surgeries on minors to be sued at a Wednesday press conference.
“They talk about these very young kids getting gender-affirming care,” DeSantis said, who used air quotes while using the phrase. “What they don’t tell you what that is is that they are giving very young girls double mastectomies, they want to castrate these young boys — that’s wrong.”
Several of DeSantis’ press reps have questioned the “gender-affirming care” phrase in recent months, arguing that it doesn’t specify the procedures being performed in some cases. And in April, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said minors experiencing gender dysphoria should instead receive counseling to address their concerns.
“You don’t disfigure 10-, 12-, 13-year-old kids based on gender dysphoria,” DeSantis added Wednesday. “Eighty percent of it resolves anyways by the time they get older. So why would you be doing this? I think these doctors need to get sued for what’s happening, I’m sorry.”
Those who support access to the procedures — which also include puberty blockers — assert that they improve the mental health of transgender children.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit held at the Tampa Convention Center on July 22, 2022 in Tampa, Florida. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for doctors who deliver “gender-affirming care” to be sued.
DeSantis has come under fire from some LGBTQ groups and Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, the highest-ranking transgender member of government, for his positions on a range of transgender issues.
In March, Florida banned school instruction related to gender identity or sexual orientation for kids in younger grades, which critics have called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

No. Them and their team need to be hanged by the neck until dead.
Doctors that mutilate children need to be thrown in jail.
No,they should be hanged.
Are you going to sit him at the kids table for Thanksgiving?😏
Easier than actually driving out the demons, I suppose.
What about the Parents who allow this? These Parents who do this should NOT be allowed to parent........They are too STUPID!
And laws need to be enacted to prevent the mentally ill from mutilating themselves. The unethical moral cowardliness of the medical system is reprehensible.
Desantis.. tell them if these kids are responsible enough to choose this, then let them smoke, drink alcohol. Now.
I think any Dr convicted of doing this mutilated surgery should have the same thing done to them.
Paging Morgan & Morgan!!
A few good medical malpractice lawsuits and not one doctor will ever do it again.
When the victims get old enough to realize what was done to them, they should sue the doctors that performed the operation, the hospital it was performed in, and disney for encouraging youngsters to do it in the first place.
Thank you, Gov. DeSantis.
I think Moron & Moron would help those doctors. John Moron seems to be the biggest creep of lawyers.
Indeed! Tomboys were generally more fun all around, and good company. I can think of two girlfriends from my teen years who were Tomboyish, and they were interested in life beyond their hair, makeup, etc. AND they were sweet and passionately feminine. One almost became my wife years later, and the other became stunningly beautiful after being less than homely growing up. They’re still very cool people. Beauty radiating from within does wonders.
How nice was that! I think growing up as a tomboy I certainly learned how to relate to the opposite sex without a hitch. ...that went right into my teen years and even today. Guys make great friends but that has to be time tempered or they fall in love. ...LOL.
The only down side was from girls who merclessly made fun of me when in first week of Junior High I hadn’t learned yet to shave my legs! The guys never said a word!
Sued by who?
How about arrested and put in prison where they belong?
Patients who’s bodies were mutilated by their Dr Mengeles.
Ha ha yes.
