2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex

Maryland Democrat Gov. Wes Moore said he would not stop his 14-year-old son from identifying as the opposite sex if that is “a journey that he wants to go down,” although he later said he would not support the use of puberty blockers.

Moore, who is running for reelection this year and has also been pitched as a 2028 Democrat presidential candidate, made the remark during an interview on The Patrick Bet-David podcast that was released on Tuesday. The conversation lasted two hours and covered a variety of topics besides transgenderism, including the California homelessness crisis, the Iran war, and gerrymandering.

When Moore was specifically asked if he would allow his young son to identify as transgender, he said, “You know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless.”

“And he’s always going to have my undying love. That’s me, right? I want to make sure that I’m involved in understanding where he is, how he’s feeling, the way he’s feeling, why he thinks it’s important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin, and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey,” he continued.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore says he would let his son go through gender mutilation as a minor if he wanted to.

When asked if he would tell his son to wait until he is 18 years old to identify as a woman, he replied: “If this is how he is feeling, and I feel like I’m closely tied to him, I’m not going to advise him on something that he feels is right.” (Read more from “2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex” HERE)
