FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Sen. JD Vance told The Daily Signal transgender medical interventions for minors are “crazy” at a rally in Holland, Michigan, on Tuesday.
“I think sex changes for minors, permanently altering, either chemically or surgically, the body of young child, is crazy,” the Republican vice presidential nominee said. “I can’t believe that we do this. I really can’t.”
The crowd cheered enthusiastically for about 15 seconds after his response.
Former President Donald Trump has said he would ban sex-change procedures for children without parental consent. The Daily Signal asked Vance if the potential Trump-Vance administration would ban puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and irreversible surgeries for minors in all cases, regardless of parental involvement.
