Nancy Pelosi says sex changes for trans kids is something she\u2019s working for \u2018at the national level\u2019.Pelosi said she flies a transgender flag outside her office.Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that sex changes for transgender children is something she\u2019s working for \u201cat the national level.\u201dEarlier in the day, Pelosi toured the San Francisco VA Medical Center to review health-system upgrades, research initiatives and\u2014according to a press release from her staff\u2014the threat that House Republicans might slash core veterans\u2019 services.<\/p>\n
While speaking with reporters, she was asked how her office was responding to pauses to \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d in California.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is something I\u2019m working for at the national level, and we are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cIt\u2019s a sad thing for us\u2026 I don\u2019t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n
She called the situation \u201creally sad, adding that a transgender-pride flag\u2014five horizontal stripes of light blue, pink and white\u2014hangs outside her office. Pelosi also said several colleagues display the same flag.<\/p>\n
She acknowledged that many Republicans on Capitol Hill oppose medical transition for transgender youth.<\/p>\n
Still, she is not alone in her stance on sex changes for kids.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, over a dozen officials from Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from blocking access to sex change procedures and treatments for people under the age of 19.<\/p>\n
The complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, argues that the Trump administration wants to impose a nationwide ban on sex change procedures by threatening providers with \u201cbaseless criminal charges\u201d and investigations.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit names President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department as defendants. It challenges Trump\u2019s Jan. 28 executive order barring government support for sex change operations and treatments and two memos by Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate.<\/p>\n
Pelosi\u2019s office told Fox News Digital the Democrat was referring to this lawsuit when she spoke about supporting sex changes for children.<\/p>\n
Bondi\u2019s memo directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and prosecute those who offer sex-change treatments to minors. Shumate\u2019s memo directs prosecutors to prioritize investigations against doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that perform such procedures.<\/p>\n
In July, Kaiser Permanente announced that it would pause sex change surgeries for patients under 19 beginning Aug. 29 in response to the Trump administration\u2019s efforts on the matter. The same month, Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles shuttered its Center for Trans Youth Health and Development, one of the nation\u2019s largest clinics for transgender young people.<\/p>\n
The Children\u2019s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., also announced that it will no longer provide gender transition-related medical interventions.<\/p>\n
Many states have laws restricting or banning sex change surgeries for children. The states named in the lawsuit \u2013 California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. \u2013 allow such procedures.<\/p>\n
In a bold move that\u2019s igniting both cheers and outrage, President Donald J. Trump has officially\u00a0pardoned former Lt. Mark Bashaw<\/p>\n\n
