Bernie Sanders opened the hearing by questioning why it was happening at all.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cToday we are \u2026 spending hours on a hearing that impacts an infinitesimal number of people,\u201d Sanders raged. \u201c<\/span><span>You pick on a powerless minority today, it\u2019s not undocumented immigrants. Today it\u2019s trans kids, and maybe we can get some votes, getting everybody to kind of hate this powerless minority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sanders continued to emphasize that because relatively few minors received transgender surgeries, the hearing wasn\u2019t worth the Senate\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn other words, Mr. Chairman, we are using precious committee time dealing with an issue that impacts at most less than 100th of one percent of teenagers throughout America, and zero kids under the age of 12,\u201d Sanders emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w9bxkudbwa4?feature=oembed\" title=\"Senate HELP Hearing (6\/3\/26) - Protecting Children from Irreversible Gender Transition Procedures\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Later in the hearing, Miceli cited figures showing that 14,000 children underwent gender-transition procedures from 2019 to 2023, including more than 5,700 surgical cases. Democrats continued to frame the figures as statistically small but did not dispute the numbers. Minter, the Democrats\u2019 witness, also referenced similar figures.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOver a five-year period of that number, only about 14,700 receive any medication. That is an incredibly small percentage,\u201d Minter said. \u201cOver a five-year period, we\u2019re talking about fewer than one in 1,000 young people, and this is a very small group of young people receiving any type of medical treatment. It is only after the most careful screening.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Minter appeared to overlook the fact that detransitioner Chloe Cole, just moments before, had testified that doctors surgically transitioned her after a single psychiatric evaluation. <strong>(RELATED: Twitter Suspends Famous Detransitioner Chloe Cole For Responding To Trans Activist\u2019s Violent Post)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Democratic Wisconsin Sen. <\/span>Baldwin compared Cole\u2019s experience with permanent pain from her transition to a back surgery gone wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1163\">ROOKE: Couple Who Aborted Their Baby Reveal They\u2019re Pro-Life For Pet With Terminal Illness<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI know a close family member who deeply regrets having back surgery that made the pain chronic throughout her life,\u201d Baldwin said. \u201c<\/span><span>It made it worse. Those things happen. We have tools for dealing with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span>There\u2019s virtually no regret associated with those who receive these treatments,\u201d Minter insisted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine began by acknowledging Cole\u2019s experience with medical malpractice and expressing hope that her lawsuit would be successful. He then read a letter from a mother who said she had been impressed with the level of care doctors provided her child during a medical transition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you familiar with the level of threat that has been \u2014 that is happening right now with folks who are simply doing their jobs as medical professionals?\u201d Kaine asked.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats repeatedly argued that decisions about transition-related care should be left to parents, doctors and children. They also criticized government efforts to restrict minors\u2019 access to such procedures, describing the involvement as \u201chateful\u201d and \u201charmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYes, the level of anguish that this administration\u2019s targeting of these healthcare providers and these families has created is really profound,\u201d Minter said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kaine also drew a comparison between the administration\u2019s position on transgender issues and racism in the South, prompting pushback from Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the hearing, Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey also criticized Republican efforts to restrict sex changes for minors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump and MAGA Republicans are obsessed with getting between doctors and their children,\u201d Markey said, while wearing a rainbow tie and Pride pin. \u201cWhen you cannot win on health care, on wages, on gas, on grocery prices, you look for someone to blame. And sadly, they\u2019ve chosen the trans community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1161\">Mom Allegedly Discovers School Official\u2019s Sexual Relationship With Son On Valentines Weekend Trip<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several entertaining moments when democrats made some interesting statements during a hearing on protecting American children from sex change operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[928,1577,1578,1579],"class_list":["post-1167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-child-sex-changes","tag-senate-democrats","tag-transgender-hormones","tag-transgender-ideology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
