Alberta unveils 3 sweeping bills affecting trans and gender-diverse youth
"And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning, criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body. This is a big lie, and our message to every child in America is that you are perfect, exactly the way God made you."
- Donald Trump
This is another thing that happened; very dangerous rhetoric here. By saying “no child is trapped in the wrong body” he’s also implying that nobody is, because we were all kids once and a lot of us knew we were trans as kids. Blatantly ignoring science and medicine once again, but what would you expect from a guy who hired a guy who thinks psychiatric medicine should be banned. Also children don’t get sex changes or “mutilation” just so we’re all clear.
