Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris has yet to openly discuss her stance on transgender surgeries for minors, a position shared by extreme left-leaning sectors but not commonly supported within the broader American populace. Regardless of this lack of clarity, various LGBTQ organizations that profess their support for child-geared gender transition procedures are avid endorsers of both Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

Some high-ranking LGBTQ groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, GLAAD, Advocates for Trans Equality, and the Human Rights Campaign act out vehemently against what they label as “anti-LGBTQ” legislation. Their concerns are chiefly rooted in apprehensions related to GOP politicians’ efforts aimed at safeguarding minors from undergoing transgender surgeries or being exposed to classroom discussions surrounding gender and sexuality.

As the current Minnesota governor, Walz sanctioned an executive order validating access to trans hormones, puberty blockers and surgeries. However, thus far into their political race campaign , the Harris team has declined invitations by The Daily Signal to elaborate their approval or disapproval on performing transgender surgeries to underage audiences.

This particular issue presents a dicey predicament for any campaign which finds itself closely aligned with extremist groups considering that majority of Americans notably do not favor hormonal or surgical interventions for children identifying themselves as transgender individuals.

Earlier in July 2022, perceived acceptance towards “medical care” for trans-identifying kids manifesting within White House circles seemed conscious of these public sentiments when there was instituting back-and-forth swings revolving around continuous support for gender reassignment surgery among children. This switch between stances came immediately after facing “intense pressure” from LGBTQ groups.

These second thoughts were reportedly prompted by disclosures indicating that Rachel Levine was able to exert considerable pressure on The World Professional Association of Transgender Health so as to cancel age restrictions related to gaining life-altering transgender procedures. Being the highest-ranking trans-identifying official within the Department of Health and Human Services, Levine’s team holds the viewpoint that “early” transgender surgeries, hormone therapies as well as affirmations are of critical health importance for children and teenagers identifying as transgender.

Regardless of advocate claims, research indicates that gender-affirming care does seem to escalate chances linked to attempted suicide among young individuals. An April study depicted it being “significantly associated with elevated suicide-attempt risks”, thus underlining the need for all-inclusive post-procedure psychiatric support.
