Lawmakers should change their minds so children can, too

As humans, we are gifted with the unique abilities to reason and change our minds completely when presented with new information. However, some legislators in Congress simply refuse to reorient their mindsets when presented with evidence that gender-transition procedures are not authentic healthcare.

Too many legislators are in favor of using Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program to fund gender-transition procedures for minors, even going as far as opposing provisions in the reconciliation bill aimed at protecting children who are covered by these programs. Their viewpoint is completely at odds with the 65.5% of likely voters who insist that “federal tax dollars should not pay for gender transition procedures.”
