Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly told HBO host Bill Maher on Friday night that child sex reassignment is almost “the only issue” in the presidential election.
Opinion polls show that a majority of voters support banning child sex reassignment procedures. Kelly said during an appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher” that children undergoing sex reassignment surgery are “a modern-day problem.” (Related: ‘Insufficient evidence’: Medical society president explains why children will not undergo sex reassignment surgery)

“What we’re doing with transgender crazy kids is almost as important, if not more important,” Kelly said in a September 2021 interview. He revealed that he pulled his sons out of school every week where they were questioned about their confidence. They were boys, Maher said. “So this is pretty much the only problem for me. We’re cutting out parts of young children’s healthy bodies.”
When the audience reacted to Kelly’s comments, she responded, “100% we do.”
“Well, we definitely do,” Maher said.
Britain banned the use of puberty blockers in July as European countries backpedaled from immediately forcing children into so-called “gender-affirming care.” Ms Kelly said doctors often perform sex changes on children “without any questioning” and then warned the audience she was going to “deliver a truth bomb”.
“Children who are bullied, who have been sexually assaulted, or who are going through normal adolescence but feel uncomfortable about their bodies, should tell their parents, “I don’t get it, maybe it’s gender confusion.” ‘Maybe it’s happening,'” Kelly explained. “They’re going to send patients to psychiatrists and psychologists, but they have to be affirmed, affirmed, by our organization, by the American Psychiatric Association, by all the other bodies that govern licensing. The child is then told that you are right, that you are secretly a boy, or vice versa, and the child is given puberty suppressants and cross-sex hormones that make him infertile. We’re talking about 9, 10, 11-year-olds who are unable to give informed consent.”
“When it comes to children’s and women’s rights, this is a modern issue,” Kerry later added, with Maher acknowledging that “we are the only country still doing this.”
Kelly told Ma that other countries had previously used the same “gender-affirming” approach that is now used in the United States, but that “since then, there is no evidence that it helps and there is no evidence that it causes harm.” I realized there were too many and stopped doing it,” he said.

Maher also mentioned Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who told the New York Times on Wednesday that a $9.7 million taxpayer-funded investigation into the effects of puberty blockers on children He revealed that he did not make the results of the study public because he feared the results would be promoted.
