Jen Psaki Threatens Parents Who are Blocking ‘Medically Necessary, Life-Saving’ Transgender Surgeries for Children
by Kyle Becker about 4 hours ago
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had a threatening message for parents and states who are standing in the way of gender reassignment surgeries for their children. There will be consequences. Watch:
“Last item for you before we get to your questions,” Psaki said. “Across the country, as we’ve talked about a bit in here, Republican elected officials are engaging in disturbing, cynical trend of attacking vulnerable transgender kids for purely partisan political reasons.”
“Today, in Alabama, instead of focusing on critical kitchen table issues like the economy, Covid or addressing the country’s mental health crisis, Republican lawmakers are currently debating legislation that, among many things, would target trans youths with tactics that threatens to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically necessary life-saving health care for the kids they serve,” she claimed.
“Just like the extreme government overreach we’ve seen in Texas, where politicians have sent state officials into the homes of loving parents to investigate them for abuse just to harass and intimidate the LGBTQI+ community, today’s vote in Alabama will only serve to harm kids,” she continued. “But Alabama’s lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services that laws and policies preventing care that health care professionals recommend for transgender minors may violate the Constitution and the federal law.”
“To be clear, every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming health care for transgender kids is the best practice and potentially lifesaving,” she claimed. “All of this begs an important question: What are these policies actually trying to solve for? LGBTQI+ people can’t be erased or forced back into any closets and kids across our nation should be allowed to be who they are without the threat that their parents or their doctor could be imprisoned simply for helping them and loving them.”
“President Biden has committed, in both words and actions, to fight for all Americans and will not hesitate to hold these states accountable,” she said.
The White House in late March flagged a resource from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health on “Transgender Day of Visibility.” The resource is intended to “inform parents and guardians, educators, and other persons supporting children and adolescents with information on what is gender-affirming care and why it is important to transgender, nonbinary, and other gender expansive young people’s well-being.”
“Gender-affirming care is a supportive form of healthcare,” the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health sheet claims. “It consists of an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary people.”
“For transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender- affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system,” the White House messaging added.
Votes across the country are banding together to prevent aggressive White House overreach on transgender policies, including proposals that U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for gender reassignment surgeries.
On Thursday, Alabama passed HB322 26Y – 5N, the nation’s first bill in over 8 years that bans ‘transgender’ self-identification from being used as a pretext to enter an opposite-sex bathroom. On April 3rd, Arizona banned ‘gender reassignment’ surgery for minors.
In Florida, state Rep. Randy Fine says that he plans to push for legislation to make it felony child abuse to give kids drugs or surgeries for ‘gender reassignment.’
“I’ve had enough of this nonsense. Next session, I will help shepherd legislation to make it illegal to provide drugs or surgery to a minor for the purpose of alleged ‘gender assignment.’ The legislation will make it felony child abuse punishable by prison and loss of medical license. This legislation would not affect mental counseling,” Fine said on social media.
“If an adult wants to self-mutilate their body in pursuit of the fiction that they can defy both G-d and science, more power to them — so long as they don’t expect me to pay for it. But no child should be put in the position of making fundamentally life-altering decisions before they are of the age of majority,” he noted. “I can call myself a porcupine, but that doesn’t make it so. It is time for us to dispense with this fantasy — one that is turning our women’s sports into a joke and our schools into a cesspool.”
Across the nation, “ gender support ” plans are being adopted to keep children who may be considering the adoption of a different sexual identity from informing their parents. Part of these ‘educational’ curricula may include ‘identity exploration,’ which some argue is tantamount to ‘grooming’ or fostering ‘gender confusion’ for vulnerable youth who may not have even reached puberty yet.
Jen Psaki claimed at the press conference that gender reassignment surgery is “medically necessary” and “life-saving” health care. But according to the Journal of Interpersonal Violence , “[d]ata indicate that 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth.”
The White House has shown throughout the Covid pandemic that it does not consider children to belong to their parents. The Biden administration has effectively declared war on children with a radical program to groom them into whatever the state desires, regardless of the emotional suffering or psychological trauma they inflict on them. And as far as most teachers today are concerned, ‘what happens in the classroom, stays in the classroom.’

medically necessary life-saving health care
And Democrats whine about the rhetoric used by Repubicans.
Enough said. It is who they are and what they do!
It is about as medically necessary as trimming my front yard grass.
"gender reassignment surgery is “medically necessary” and “life-saving” health care"
So, a kid should be able to change their sex before it is legal for them to drink a beer?
Don't you know young children always make the right decisions? They never rush or make snap judgements./s
Well said.
That's why they don't rent cars to kids until their 25.
AOC has yet to gain the common sense and cognitive ability of a 25 year old adult.
Not in a sane world….
If we only lived in one
Any nation that would elect Let’s go Brandon it’s President is clearly not sane….Now he’s trying to enforce woke bi coastal secular progressive urban elites dogma upon heartland America and we are defying dear leader uncle Joe!
Or get a driver's license, enter into a contract or join the military
And they want to let schools encourage the “desire” for such changes and to keep that desire and initial treatments toward that end secret from the child’s parents.
“And they want to let schools encourage the “desire” for such changes and to keep that desire and initial treatments toward that end secret from the child’s parents.”
As a reference point, how long has it been since you were engaged in the public school system?
Whether engaged with your own children or by extension? Never, never, ever have I had a teacher keep anything of importance ‘secret’.
Your polemics are so evident and oh, so transparent.
My son graduated from a local public high school in June of 2020. It is a very good high school and it’s district has a fairly conservative school board. I am currently working for two public school districts and before that spent 33 years with one employer working with SED at risk youth in residential settings for over 12 years and in a non public private school for over 21 years. The last year there i transferred to the developmentally disadvantaged students. When they closed and I was laid off I began work for the two school districts in 2020 and will work for both until I retire. Both are also fairly conservative and I have no fear of what I described above happening in any local school in my county or city.
Necessary? Life-saving? I can think of hundreds of reasons surgery is necessary and life saving. None of them are for transgender purposes.
Satan is the actual being who did all of the evil that has ever happened to this world.
Imagine, in 2008, when the great progressive barrack Obama proclaimed that marriage was a sacred union between a man and a woman that less than 15 years laters the culture war would devolve to Democrats to the point where Democrats claim small kids have the literal right to mutilate themselves and that failure to provide them that ability is a crime.
imagine what “rights” they’ll be arguing for in another 15 years
I’m afraid to ask them that question.
"It is time for us to dispense with this fantasy — one that is turning our women’s sports into a joke and our schools into a cesspool.”
And the idiot progressives think they have a winning issue here!
De Santis and Florida have the winning issue here. Many red states are openly copying this Florida law too and for good reason.
Well said and right on. Progressives are uniquely unqualified to raise a child…
The trouble with progressives and their children is that they don't want to be the child's parent. They want to be their friend. Disciplining tor denying their kids anything would take away from that goal.
You exactly nailed it in your post. That is exactly it. The thing is that progressive parents then want to use schools and government to try to compel other parents to do likewise on their key issues because they can’t stand to see obedient, respectful, honest, well mannered kids raised by their peers parents and churches being successful around their kids. They can’t handle the guilt that their parent as friend with little or no discipline or personal responsibility isn’t working in comparison so they attack their parent peers and try to limit their rights instead of changing their own poor methods.
