President Joe Biden has denounced states that have, or are seeking, to outlaw sex change procedures on children, calling bills that recently passed, or are being considered, in multiple Republican-led legislatures “immoral.”
Biden commented on the matter during a sit-down with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a 25-year-old biological male from San Diego, Calif., who has been chronicling 221 days of “being a girl.”
“Sometimes, they try to block you from being able to access certain medicines, being able to access certain procedures,” Biden said. “No state should be able to do that in my view.”
“It’s really important that we continue to speak out about the basic fundamental rights of all human beings, and the idea, the idea, that was going on, you know, in some states—I won’t get into the politics of it, but, some states, it’s just—it’s outrageous, and I think it’s immoral,” he added.
Puberty Blocker Warning
In July, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added a warning to the labeling of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists—also referred to by many as puberty blockers—saying the drugs may cause a series of symptoms in children that include headaches, pressure buildup around the brain, and vision loss.Despite this, the Biden administration continues the advocacy of what it describes as “gender-affirming health care,” which gives people, including children, easy access to sex change treatments.
NTD News, The Epoch Times’s sister media, has contacted the White House if the Biden administration has any comment on the matter.
Multiple states nationwide have restricted, or are considering, laws to ban early access to sex-transition procedures—including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and irreversible and risky sex-change surgeries—in children experiencing gender dysphoria.
Gender dysphoria, according to the American Psychiatric Association, is a condition of distress created by an individual who identifies with the opposite biological sex.
