Rep. Murphy Condemns Gender Changes for Kids as ‘Malpractice’, Tells Newsmax
Republican lawmaker Rep. Greg Murphy, who is also a physician, criticized doctors who prescribe gender-changing treatments to children, calling it malpractice. This statement comes after Republican lawmakers in North Carolina passed laws restricting hormone treatments, surgeries, and puberty blockers for young people, as well as limiting discussions on gender identity in schools and banning transgender athletes from competing on girls’ sports teams. Murphy supported the lawmakers’ decision, stating that children do not have the mental capacity to make life-altering decisions and that these treatments do not reduce the risk of suicide among transgender youth.
