Popular Democrat governor breaks with party, speaks out against sex change surgeries for minors
Fox News
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear declared his opposition to child sex change surgeries, but has maintained support for "gender-affirming care."
In a new ad titled, "Parents," Beshear says the attacks from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, his Republican opponent in this year's gubernatorial race, concerning child sex changes are "not true," and declares he's "never supported gender reassignment surgery for kids – and those procedures don’t happen here in Kentucky."

He also referenced his promise to "support parents," who he says "know what's best" for their children, a position he has maintained when it comes to other types of transgender-related treatments, such as hormone therapies, which he refers to as "gender-affirming care."
