Rand Paul Losses His $hit When Accusing Trans Candidate Lavine About His/Her Support Of Children Mutilating Their Genitals

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., asked whether minors should be allowed to permanently change their genders Thursday, and Senate Health, Education Labor and Pensions Committee Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., accused him of making "ideological and harmful misrepresentations."

Paul likened gender transformation procedures on minors to "genital mutilation" and asked whether President Biden’s nominee for assistant health secretary is in favor of allowing underage children to decide to undergo such treatments.

"According to the [World Health Organization], genital mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of human rights," Paul said. "Genital mutilation is considered particularly egregious, because as the WHO knows, it is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. Most genital mutilation is not typically performed by force, but as WHO notes, by social convention."
