Democrats want the authority to transition four year olds.

Question

Democrats propose expanding authority over gender transition decisions for young children.

Answer 1

Hello! First off, I don't think that the source that was provided for this claim is a credible source because of the fact that it is not from a reputable individual. It also has a spelling error -- spells "says" as "sez" -- and does not provide any further information over why Democrats would want to transition four year olds. According to this article (https://translash.org/articles/heres-what-democrats-promise-to-do-for-lgbtq-people-in-their-2024-platform/), I think democrats are actually for providing equal rights to LGBTQ+ individuals, and these promises come directly from the DNC.

Adding to your comment, the website the original claim also isn't a formed out article, it leads to another claim without further evidence which also doesn't provide support to their reworded claim. This article written by Cal Matters, also discusses about an instance where democrats main issue is fighting for basic human rights for the lgbtqia+ community.

Answer 2

Despite this not being from a reputable source, the Democratic party has only officially released plans to support health care coverage for gender confirming surgery (https://translash.org/articles/heres-what-democrats-promise-to-do-for-lgbtq-people-in-their-2024-platform/) which is rarely ever performed on minors, with rare exceptions for 17-16 year olds (https://www.hrc.org/resources/get-the-facts-on-gender-affirming-care)
