My opponent wants to mutilate children, and he wants you to call it compassion. A far Left Democrat is currently running for my seat, and he has made his position clear: He supports using your tax dollars to chemically and surgically mutilate Kentucky’s children. Listen to what he said at his campaign kickoff. My opponent is defending the chemical castration and surgical alteration of kids who cannot even drive a car, vote, or get a tattoo.  Puberty blockers and cross sex hormones disrupt normal development and carry the risk of sterility, sexual dysfunction, and lifelong medical problems. This path leads to surgeries that remove healthy body parts from children who have no capacity to consent to consequences that will follow them for the rest of their lives. My opponent wants the state involved. He wants your tax dollars to pay for these grotesque crimes against children.  This is the radical agenda he would take to Frankfort if we let him.   I will not stand by while politicians treat Kentucky children as science experiments. Protecting kids from irreversible harm is not extreme. It is the bare minimum adults owe the next generation.  The ideology my opponent promotes has no place in our society. As your Representative, I stood against using Medicaid to fund these interventions, and we won.  I supported legislation that prevents inmates from using tax dollars for these perverted procedures, and we won.  Even before taking office, I supported legislation that totally bans the gender mutilation of minors, and we won! I have worked to keep this radical ideology out of our schools and out of our laws because protecting children from irreversible harm is not optional. It is a basic duty.
