Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has declared that if a child says they are transgender, then they are really suffering a from a mental health crisis, and that it is “inhumane” to affirm their misguided belief.
“When a kid is saying their gender doesn’t match their biological sex, they’re going through a mental health struggle. That’s a mental health condition,” Ramaswamy said during an interview with The Blaze.
He continued, “The compassionate thing to do is not to affirm that confusion — that is not compassion, that is cruelty. The compassionate thing to do is figure out what’s going wrong in that kid’s life.”
“The fact that that is now beyond the pale to even explore shows how far we’ve gone as a culture,” the candidate urged.
“It is inhumane and barbaric that we live in a culture that lets this happen to children, and if we don’t learn from those mistakes, we only have ourselves to blame,” Ramaswamy further asserted.
“If you’re an adult and want to dress how you want, I’m not going to stop you. But you’re not going to change our language, our sports, how we sort locker rooms, and you’re certainly not going to change the way we indoctrinate our children,” he emphasised.
Watch:
When someone says they’re trans, it usually means *something else* is badly wrong in their life. Let’s abandon the farce that the “humane” thing to do is to affirm their confusion, rather than to actually help.

The comments come in the wake of Ramaswamy schooling a ‘LGBTQ+’ reporter who confronted the candidate, demanding to know his views on the “LGBTQ+ community.”
Ramaswamy told the person that he doesn’t “think it’s one community,” explaining that as far as he can tell “Trans is fundamentally in tension with gay, if you ask me.”
He then went on to provide a stark reality check for the activist:

Elon Musk seems impressed with Ramaswamy too...

So do adults.
I’ll guess, “not a natural born citizen”?
Kids who think they are trans have an influencer or parent with a mental health condition.
One thing Trump has done is distract the press from the real culture war. Vic has stepped up and took the speaking truth to the mob role with a ton of modern political style trump never had. So far all the prosecutors have done is successfully used a word processor to write inditements and convinced grand juries full of dopes that press clippings are true.
These same people sat in their houses afraid of a virus that killed almost nobody under 50 for 2+ years. A virus that had to come from the wet market in the same town as the biolab. Now orange man is still bad is worthy of a legal circus. They collect orange man supporters and put lawfair against them. Big deal, it is only money and time, conservatives spend a ton of that every day pushing back on other forms of liberal progreism.
I will not be attending a Washington commanders’ game
They have a mental parent problem
Way to go, Swammy.
Ruh Roh!
Who ever imagined that parents would have to fight in America to keep their children safe from drug experimentation and sexual mutilation by government approved psychopaths?
The authors of our constitution, I believe they have an amendment that covers this.
Gee. Ya think?
That’s a nasty, uncalled for pejorative.
