"PBS Newshour" featured a defense on transgender children and their parents’ support for various gender care treatments including puberty blockers while attacking legislation against them on Wednesday.
Host Amna Nawaz opened the segment noting that "at least 150 bills" filed by Republicans that "target" transgender Americans and restricts doctors from "offering transition related health care for minors even when their parents approve."
The show then featured several parents speaking highly of transitioning children as young as seven and ten with the help of their pediatricians.
"Our daughter is 10 years old," Beth Clawson said. "She started letting us know she was transgender really before she could even speak. She would do things like wear her sister‘s clothes, pretend that towels her long hair and when she was about three years old she started to withdraw and become depressed so we started doing some research."
