Chris Christie and Nikki Haley Don’t Support Banning Child Sex Changes

Gov. Chris Christie (R) claimed during the fourth Republican presidential debate that outlawing sex-mutilating transgender procedures for minors would take away parents’ rights over their children.

Megyn Kelly, debate moderator and host of The Megyn Kelly Show, asked the former New Jersey governor on Wednesday night if his pro-transgender position, which enables the “cutting off [of] body parts at a time when kids cannot even legally smoke a cigarette” is “too out of step” for him to qualify as the Republican nominee.

“Kids who go from puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones are at a much greater likelihood of winding up sterile,” Kelly noted. “How is it that you think a parent should be able to OK these surgeries, never mind the sterilization of a child, and aren’t you way too out of step on this issue to be the Republican nominee?”

“No, I’m not because Republicans believe in less government, not more, in less involvement with government, not more government involvement in people’s lives,” Christie replied. . .

Christie is not the only Republican presidential candidate to take the position that the government should stay out of the child sex change industry, which has been tirelessly promoted by the Biden administration. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has been facing renewed criticism because of a June TV interview in which she said the government should not intervene if parents decide to put their children through irreversible, life-altering “transgender” surgery.
