Karine Jean-Pierre dodged a question on whether Biden will condemn the UK for a decision to ban 'puberty blockers' for 'transgender kids.'
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged a question Wednesday on whether the administration intends to condemn the United Kingdom for a decision to ban “puberty blockers” for “transgender kids.”Britain’s National Health Service will no longer routinely prescribe puberty blockers to children amid concerns over a lack of evidence on the impact of the so-called gender-affirming drugs.
A reporter first asked Jean-Pierre about comments that President Joe Biden made last week in a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak,that states limiting access to puberty-blocking drugs and gender reassignment surgery for children were motivated by “prejudice” and cruelty, not concern for kids.
