“gender transition surgeries and the providing of hormones for minors "barbaric."

“the vast majority of minors who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria will move beyond it if they are provided with competent, compassionate counseling.

“What you don't want to do is carry out treatments… we refer to them as sex-rejecting procedures, where you're using castrating chemicals or cross-sex hormones or mutilating surgeries to permanently change their bodies and give them potentially life-long complications that can happen,

“the science doesn't support "sex-rejecting" procedures on children

“Gender dysphoria is certainly a real condition. There are some children who have gender dysphoria, some minors who have that. Now, in the past, it's been an incredibly small percentage. And what we've seen is this has really turned into a social contagion. In other words, where there's so many more kids being diagnosed with gender dysphoria, that's not really explained by simple epidemiology.
