FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) – During his weekly Team Kentucky news conference, Gov. Andy Beshear again voiced his opposition to gender reassignment surgery for minors and took a swipe at his Republican challenger, Attorney General Daniel Cameron, for emphasizing the issue.
“Daniel Cameron has taken this race to the gutter in a way I’ve never seen,” Beshear said. “Right now, I think if you ask him about climate change, I think he’ll say it’s caused by children in gender reassignment surgeries.”
Cameron has accused Beshear of lying about whether he supports transgender procedures for children. As Kentucky Today reported, the University of Kentucky’s Transform Health clinic confirms that it has performed a small number of “non-genital” gender reassignment surgeries, contradicting Beshear’s claim that such procedures do not happen in Kentucky.
“He said these procedures are not happening in Kentucky, but the truth is simple. In March, a University of Kentucky clinic admitted it performed gender reassignment surgeries on minors to members of the General Assembly,” said Cameron on Thursday. “The letter was sent to Rep. James Tipton (R-Taylorsville) and was quoted on the floor of the State Senate. The letter shows that these surgeries did, in fact, occur and were occurring when Andy Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 150.”
Lawmakers overrode Beshear’s veto of SB 150, the sweeping transgender legislation that, among other things, bans gender reassignment procedures on minors.
Beshear again said he was unaware such surgeries were being performed in Kentucky and that he opposes them. “Major medical-providing groups said they did not happen in Kentucky. That letter was new to me, although apparently it was sent to someone else months earlier, which leads to questions on its own.”
Beshear went on to criticize Cameron for pushing the issue.

“’non-genital’ gender reassignment surgeries”
What kinds of surgeries are they doing?
Still haven’t gotten that tranny shooter manifesto from across state lines yet
I’m voting for Cameron in November but I bet this Covid Fascist Beshear wins. Voters here are dumber than a candied frog.
I recommend they have a talk with Jesus before making their decision. Perhaps they don’t know just Who they will ultimately be answering to.
The RAT Party exists entirely in the gutter. It defines the gutter.
He was for it before he was against it. What happened is that the legislature passed a bill to ban genital mutilation surgery for minors. Beshear vetoed it! So, Cameron has been painting him as in favor of the mutilation surgery ever since so Beshear is trying to back away from his earlier position.
