A White House spokesperson said that the Biden administration opposes gender-affirming surgery, for trans minors, saying that it believes surgeries should be limited to adults. In response to this news, SAGE CEO Michael Adams issued the following statement: "Over and over again, trans elders make it clear that they stand with trans youth. Last night’s announcement from the Biden administration on denying health care to trans youth is wrong-headed and should be reversed. No one should get in the way of parents, patients, and doctors making these decisions." https://lnkd.in/eDauFs4e
