Dem in key Senate race said it's 'troubling' GOP wants to prevent gender-affirming surgeries for trans youth
Fox News
North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley said in 2021 that it's "deeply troubling" that Republicans want to limit "gender-affirming surgeries" for transgender youth.
"Trans people and especially people of color face a lot of barriers around access to health care, and I know Biden reversed Trump's policies that rolled back protections for transgender people in health care," Beasley said. "We know Republicans, of course here in North Carolina, continue to launch attacks against trans people, including limiting the ability of trans youth to have gender-affirming surgeries. There's just something deeply troubling about that." Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News. On Twitter: @RealKyleMorris.
"We know that the state health care plan does not provide for trans-affirming care," she added. "This, frankly, is really a very dangerous time. Transgender adults are two times as likely than cisgender adults to have – be diagnosed by depressive disorders."
