Donald Trump Claims Schools Are Performing Gender-Affirming Surgery on Students
Conservative Parents and Teachers Revolt
Former President Donald Trump has reignited a heated debate over transgender rights by claiming that schools are performing gender-affirming surgery on students without parental consent.
Claims Unfounded, Experts Say
Medical and education experts have widely debunked Trump's claims. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, gender-affirming surgeries are only performed on consenting transgender individuals over the age of 18.
Even for minors, such surgeries are extremely rare and require extensive parental involvement, legal approval, and medical consultation.
Conservative Backlash
Despite the lack of evidence, Trump's claims have galvanized conservative parents and teachers, who fear that their children are being indoctrinated into transgenderism.
They are pushing for laws to ban transgender students from using facilities that align with their gender identity and to criminalize healthcare providers who provide gender-affirming care.
Transgender Advocates Condemn Claims
Transgender advocates have condemned Trump's claims as dangerous and fear-mongering.
They argue that these policies will only harm transgender youth, who are already facing high rates of discrimination and violence.
Legal Battle Ahead
The debate over transgender rights is likely to continue in the courts.
Several states have already passed laws restricting transgender rights, and more are expected to follow.
