Woke State Gets Blasted for Condoning Life-Altering Sex Surgery for Minors

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is condemning health care establishments for normalizing sex change surgery for minors, calling it "dangerous."

During an interview, DeSantis claimed that "gender-affirming care is a euphemism for disfiguring kids," pointing out how absurd it is to push the left's woke gender ideology on children.

"At the end of the day, if you look what's happening in our society, you see institutions being infected with ideology at the expense of facts and reality," DeSantis said, adding that "experts" who push radical ideologies of promoting sex change on minors are going down a very dangerous road.

"We're fighting this thing with the medical board because they want to do sex change operations for minors. … A 14-year-old cannot get a tattoo, but somehow …. they will do mastectomies, they will do stuff at the bottom which is very, very problematic and irreversible," DeSantis said.

The Florida governor announced that he and his administration will focus on not recruiting teachers who have been "taken over by ideology" but educators who share the same values as DeSantis.

I voted for Perot and worked on his campaign.

One thing I so appreciated about him was that he explained his views very thoroughly. I can not understand why conservative politicians don’t do more of that.

Everyone should completely understand why states are forbidding the use of puberty-blockers (formerly known as *chemical castration!) Abf cross-sex hormones.

I have seen only one (which I cannot find the bookmark to) article which clearly articulates the downsides of these supposed treatments. There is scattered information elsewhere, but these governors need to be much more open about the reasons that these treatments are so very bad, if not downright evil.

I think even the leftists could agree that permanent loss of sexual sensation is a very bad thing—i can’t find a good source for this but it is happening. It seems to have happened to Jazz Jennings, who seems to be blaming the problems on the surgery rather than the puberty-blockers she took.

There are a lot of downsides to this regimen and it needs to be publicized more, right now, before it is publicized by the lawsuits which are coming in a few years.
