Presidential candidate Nikki Haley supports a ban on gender reassignment treatments for minors, her campaign told The Daily Caller on Monday. The day after she said transgender minors should have access to “whatever they need,” including mental health therapy, to “not commit suicide.” “

Former UN Ambassador Said On Sunday, transgender children should receive “help, therapy, or whatever they need to feel better and not suicidal,” but the transgender issue prompted students to “get it out of the way.” He argued that we shouldn’t be forced to “walk on eggshells.” Haley spoke out at CNN’s Town Hall about her background in opposing transgender toilet bills that would require individuals to use toilets that match the gender assigned at birth. Former South Carolina governor previously Said She wanted toilet access to be determined on an individual basis, so she “strongly armed” the legislators who proposed the bill.

During a talk on CBS Monday morning, Haley answered a question about what kind of “care” transgender-identifying teens should receive.

“If a 12-year-old child in this country was born female at birth and said, ‘Actually, I’d be more comfortable living as a boy,’ what kind of consideration should be given? What should the law allow? Is it?” CBS’s Tony Dukpil ​​asked Haley. Medical procedures for adolescents seeking a gender reassignment (euphemistically called “gender-affirmative care”) include pubertal blockers, heterosexual hormones, and ablation of healthy tissue.

“I don’t think the law should get involved in this issue, I think parents should deal with it,” Haley told Dukpil. “This is a job for parents to do. And if that child is 18 and you want to make a more lasting change, you can do it. I think they go through a lot of turmoil in adolescence, they go through a lot of anxiety, they go through a lot of pressure, we have to support them to the end, but at school You don’t have to force anything, you don’t have to sit with parents hiding what gender pronouns the school uses, and you don’t have to have that conversation at school. It should be done in.”

Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, and other Republican presidential candidates, including frontrunner Mike Pence, have all been accused of sexually abusing children under the age of 18.
