As Joe Biden’s run for re-election was on the verge of collapsing this summer, an unnamed White House official briefly went off-script amid all the chaos that was unfolding in the West Wing. Speaking to a variety of news outlets, including the New York Times, the White House official announced that so-called “gender affirming surgeries” should never be conducted on children: “These surgeries should be limited to adults,” the spokesman said.
At any other period in this country’s history, that answer would’ve been ridiculed for one simple reason: It doesn’t go nearly far enough. Doing that to someone’s body is wrong, whether the victim is an adult or not. But this summer, the White House found itself besieged by trans activists who believe that doctors should be able to mutilate childrens’ bodies, without any interference from the government. There was “anxiety and concern through the trans community” over the anonymous White House official’s statement, according to the Guardian.
