Marjorie Taylor Greene Doubles Down on Fight Against Trans Surgeries for Minors After Multiple Swatting Attempts

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is standing firm in her bid to ban transgender surgeries and “gender-affirming” care on minors despite a very public and potentially violent campaign against her effort.

In a digital reelection campaign with national implications, Greene today called on the Republican Party to join her and 19 co-sponsors of her “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” and challenge Biden administration officials who have suggested that even 13-year-olds should be eligible for sex-changing drugs and operations.

“We’re not even a party worth deserving of the American people’s votes if we cannot protect children from this horrific child abuse,” she says in the opening of the ad.

The ad then morphs to Rachel Levine, the transgender assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, who said, “Gender-affirming care is life-saving.”

Greene, who was “swatted” at her home three times last week by opponents of her plan, is daring critics to take further action with her ad. In the swatting cases, Greene believes her critics hoped that police would mistake her for a violent criminal and “kill me.”

After releasing her ad online, she told Secrets that minors are too young to understand fully what they think they want to do about their sex. She also said that some of the sex-altering drugs and operations are dangerous and cannot be reversed if the minor changes their mind.

“So-called ‘gender affirming care’ for kids is child abuse, plain and simple. Kids can not make these decisions before they are even old enough to vote, join the military, or even get a driver’s license,” said Greene, a Georgia first-term Republican.

“Little boys are being castrated. Girls going through puberty are having their breasts removed. It’s not care, it’s genital mutilation. Not to mention, the puberty blockers that are being prescribed are the same pills given to pedophiles to chemically castrate. This barbaric practice has got to stop. I’m releasing my new ad today to ask every one of my colleagues to join me and 19 other members to sponsor the Protect Children’s Innocence Act to END the abuse of kids in this heinous way,” she said.
