Americans need to understand the true meaning of the term “gender affirming care,” as used by Biden Administration officials, like transgender HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) says.

In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham Thursday, Gov. DeSantis disputed Asst. Sec. Levine’s claim that “Gender affirming care is medically necessary, safe and effective for transgender and non-binary children and adolescents”:

“Understand what that is: that’s a euphemism.

“They will actually take a young boy and castrate the boy. They will take a young girl and do a mastectomy, or they will sterilize her because of the gender dysphoria.

“There is no evidence that this is something that’s effective medical care.”
