President Donald Trump removed a social media post that appeared to endorse transgender surgery for children if parents gave consent. He quickly replaced it with a firm stance against all such surgeries for minors after facing heavy criticism from conservatives.
According to Mediaite, the original post was promoting the SAVE Act and stated that the bill would stop “TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PARENTS.” The phrasing implied that parental consent could make such procedures acceptable for minors, which immediately triggered a strong backlash from conservatives across social media.
