BUCK: We know that in New Jersey, they are soon going to be teaching students — in the 2022-2023 school year, they’re gonna be teaching kids — in the second grade, mind you, about gender identity. So this is happening in schools. But you could say even worse than the teaching of gender identity or even more destructive is what Jen Psaki said. This is from the White House. This is not a fringe thing that we’re making a big deal out of, whatever.
They are coming for your kids using the apparatus all over the country. They want to start using federal law to go after people who try to stand in the way of this agenda. “It’s a civil rights violation!” Oh, they’re sending the Feds after you, the same people who said that parents who show prep at school board meetings and are a little bit testy are kind of like terrorists.
That same DOJ. They may decide that a doctor who doesn’t “gender affirm” an 8-year-old but tries to actually just have some 8-year-old live with their gender until later on, that’s not what this White House is okay with. They’ll send people after you. Here is Jen Psaki saying that it is “gender-affirming health care” for transgender kids to have them take the full transgender surgery and the hormones. Play clip 1.
BUCK: They’re gonna send the Feds after you, Clay, if you don’t want the gender-transition people to cut children’s… You can’t even talk about this stuff without… It’s just… It’s horrific!
CLAY: Yeah, and it is absolutely crazy that we have reached this point where… Just think about it. Take it outside of transgender-related issues for a moment right now and just think about this. You can’t drive a car in most states until you’re 16 years old. You can’t, certainly, vote. You can’t go sign up and join the military. You aren’t considered an adult until you’re 18 years old. You can’t buy a beer until you’re 21. You can’t rent a car in some places, Buck, until you’re 25.
Why do those age limits exist? Because we believe, rightly, for anyone who has ever been a teenager and certainly for anyone who has ever raised a teenager, that teenagers often make really bad decisions. And you’re going to tell me that a 13-year-old who is uncertain about their gender, probably uncertain about many things in their life, that you should fill them up with hormones and start to change their gender?
In a way, sometimes, that becomes virtually irreversible in terms of your ability to have children, in terms of your ability to live a life without difficulty? This is child abuse, to me — and, Buck, take it outside of transgender-related issues. Think about how often we heard over the years about, for instance, in Africa there are some places where they will have surgery on girls’ genitals in order to try —
BUCK: Female Genital Mutation. FGM.
CLAY: That’s right. It’s gotten a ton of attention over the last 20, 30 years. And people say, “Man, this is unbelievable that this would ever be allowed to happen, that someone would have this surgery happen to them. It’s awful.” But that that would occur is considered universally to be an awful thing to a minor. Well, you can have surgery that are occurring to minors.
You can pump them full of all sorts of hormones that are changing what their body would naturally do? This is child abuse, and I don’t… I mean, the idea that Jen Psaki argued there, Buck, that it’s a constitutional violation to say, “Hey, you gotta wait ’til you’re 18 years old to make a choice like this”? That’s not true, it’s crazy.
