Lia Thomas and Chloe Cole to address Congress on gender transition risks.
Rep. Mike Johnson to Hold Hearing on Child Gender Transitions
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has announced an upcoming hearing that aims to shed light on the “dangers and due process violations“ associated with child gender transitions. As the chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, Johnson is determined to expose how children are being coerced into life-altering gender transition procedures without fully understanding the implications.
Protecting Families from Coercion
Johnson firmly believes in the need for federal legislation to protect families from such coercion. He wants to ensure that children are not subjected to medically questionable procedures without the informed consent of their parents.
Witness Testimonies
One of the witnesses scheduled to testify at the hearing is Chloe Cole, an 18-year-old detransitioner and advocate against child transitions. Cole’s personal experience includes being put on puberty blockers at the age of 13 and undergoing a testosterone regimen shortly after. She even underwent a double mastectomy at the age of 15. Cole’s testimony will shed light on the impact of these procedures on her mental health and overall well-being.
Another witness, Paula Scanlan, a former University of Pennsylvania athlete, will also share her concerns about the policy that ”silences” female teammates who feel uncomfortable sharing a locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
Addressing Controversial Practices
Johnson’s home state of Louisiana recently passed a ban on gender transition procedures for children, overriding the veto from Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA). This hearing will further explore the issue and raise awareness about the need for stricter regulations.
Furthermore, a recent investigation by the Washington Examiner uncovered how doctors at Children’s Hospital New Orleans were able to bypass parental consent using permissive minor consent laws and electronic medical records software. This alarming discovery highlights the urgency of addressing these controversial practices.
The House hearing is scheduled to take place on July 27 at 10 a.m. EDT.
