HHS Responds to Democrat’s Head-Scratching Defense of Transgender ‘Medicine’

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of Health and Human Services pushed back after Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, compared transgender medical procedures to circumcision.

HHS under President Donald Trump published a comprehensive peer-reviewed study finding “extremely weak evidence” for any benefits from sex-rejecting procedures in pursuit of a transgender identity. The agency has also investigated allegedly false medical billing for experimental transgender medical procedures, which supporters call “gender-affirming care.”

“Comparing sex-rejecting procedures, which alter healthy reproductive anatomy and can result in irreversible harm, to a routine, limited medical procedure is a gross distortion of their fundamentally different scope and consequences,” HHS press secretary Grace Davis Jamison told the Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday.

“The Trump administration and HHS stand firm that children must be protected from sex-rejecting medical interventions with lifelong consequences and will continue to put the health and well-being of children ahead of political ideology,” Jamison added.

El-Sayed’s Comparison

Jamison was responding to remarks made by El-Sayed on Fox News Monday night.

Fox host Jesse Watters asked the Democrat, “Sex changes for minors, do you support that?”
