Elissa Slotkin has refused to say what age is appropriate for a child to have gender reassignment surgery and has criticized her opponent for saying he is against it.<\/p>\n<p>Her opponent, Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett, sent a fundraising message about children\u2019s gender reassignment issues in April, which Slotkin criticized, saying he was trying to stir up hate and division in order to fundraise. The Daily Caller contacted Slotkin\u2019s campaign asking them at what age Slotkin believes it would be appropriate for a child to undergo gender reassignment surgery, to which they did not comment. The campaign was given over 24 hours to respond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the spirit of basic decency, we should all agree to keep our kids out of nasty political tactics and fundraising. Let\u2019s call these tactics what they are: cynical attempts to dial up hate and division in order to raise money,\u201d Slotkin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ElissaSlotkin\/status\/1517618130201321474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweeted<\/a> in response to a story about Barrett being opposed to gender reassignment surgeries for children.<\/p>\n<p>In a video Barrett\u2019s campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQ8cX58TB70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posted<\/a> April 21, Slotkin can be seen reading a book titled \u201cI Am Jazz\u201d which teaches kids how to identify, and is which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/I-Am-Jazz-Jessica-Herthel\/dp\/0803741073\/ref=asc_df_0803741073\/?tag=hyprod-20&#038;linkCode=df0&#038;hvadid=312057607871&#038;hvpos=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=11951684995825234704&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=&#038;hvdev=c&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=1014895&#038;hvtargid=pla-433837990947&#038;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described<\/a> on Amazon as \u201cthe story of a transgender child based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings, who has become a spokesperson for transkids everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Barrett\u2019s campaign told the Daily Caller that Slotkin is an advocate for transgenderism for children ages 4 through 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElissa Slotkin has become an advocate for transgenderism to children ages 4-8, but has yet to take a public position on what age she supports gender reassignment surgery. The Biden administration has taken a position in support, and HHS Secretary Becerra has testified before Congress affirming his support for taxpayer funding for gender reassignment surgery for minors,\u201d Barrett spokesman Jason Roe said.<\/p>\n<p>Barrett is running for Michigan\u2019s seventh district against Slotkin, who has been serving since 2019.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Michigan Rep.
