Trump Falsely Claims Schools Are Giving Surgeries To Kids To Change Their Gender

On Friday, former President Donald Trump appeared at a Moms for Liberty conference in Washington, D.C. where he expressed extremist views on trans people that are wildly divorced from reality. He made numerous remarks that highlight both his record as an anti-trans figurehead and the relationship he has to those orchestrating Project 2025. The conference, featuring discussions between Trump and Moms for Liberty founder Tiffany Justice, included 20 minutes of discussion relating to transgender issues.

It was in this section that Trump made one of the most outlandish claims on transgender issues in recent history: “But uh, the transgender thing is an incredible thing… your kid goes to school & comes home a few days later with an operation the school decides what’s going to happen with your child & you many of these childs [sic] 15 years later say ‘what the hell happened, who did this to me?’”

This statement has no basis in reality—no school in the United States, or anywhere in the world, has authorized gender-affirming surgery on a child without the parent’s consent.

The discussion turned to transgender issues when Tiffany Justice suddenly brought up the topic, initially referencing Elon Musk’s recent interview with Jordan Peterson, in which Musk ranted about the “woke mind virus” supposedly affecting his trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson. Justice expressed agreement with Musk’s remarks. Wilson, however, provided detailed rebuttals on her Threads account, pointing out how Musk’s statements were inaccurate and often ignored the truth. No reference was made to her careful rebuttalsthe

1. Same imaginary people who are doing post birth abortions?

[JHB]

18. And call him "sir"

[hlthe2b]

2. Beyond the obvious, what a weird way to put it: "giving" surgeries to kids?

One performs surgeries on a patient; a patient might seek a surgical procedure; a patient might therefore obtain or receive a surgical procedure. But, no one GIVES surgeries. WTF?

I guess I"m in grammar NAZI mode (and I don't know this "Erin the morning" poster, but really?

[spanone]

3. I guess the media will never question his sanity.

[mzmolly]

9. At LEAST he didn't change his position on fracking.

[yourout]

4. That is not a false claim... That's one big ass lie.

A real Whopper.

[captain queeg]

5. But some MAGA will swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

[Rebl2]

6. The whole

thing is bizarre. This morning I read trump was saying kids were going to school and coming home a couple of days later, and have had transgender surgery at school. I find this to be an extremely strange/bizarre thing to say.

7. I was a math teacher

Give me a compass and a straightedge and I can bisect anything.

[Think. Again.]

8. This is getting beyond tolerable...

...media outlets need to stop covering him.

His lies and rhetoric are a danger to public safety and he needs to be blacklisted.

[PCIntern]

10. He forgot to mention we do it at dental offices...

We just adjust the chair a little differently…

They let me do it because I’m a star…I just use a tic tac before to make sure my breath is ok…I grab ‘em by whatever and maneuver all that tissue around. No big deal… then I drink the blood of…no, I better stop now. No point giving away all my secrets.

11. I never did trust that school nurse

Getting back to the stupidity at hand, has he ever tried to get an appointment for an elective surgery?
He is in Fantasy Land 2.0

[GoCubsGo]

16. Fantasy Land 2.0 and stupidity--You ain't kidding!

On top of that, his assertion that gender reassignment surgery can be done and recovered from in a matter of a "couple of days" is just fucking daft. And, never mind that the whole issue is that people want to make their own goddamn choices, and this motherfucker thinks it's the schools making the choice? Holy shit, this asshole.

[jmowreader]

12. Schools can barely afford to run the furnace in the winter

Where are they coming up with all this money for sexual reassignment surgery?

[SheilaAnn]

14. I was just going to say schools no longer supply paper, pencils, etc. in schools, parents are doing the buying of these

essentials. No money left for surgeries.

[allegorical oracle]

19. Not to mention all those nine-month abortions. nt

[sakabatou]

13. Trump pandering to transphobes? Quelle surprise

[magicarpet]

15. Yes,... the school nurses are doing sex change operations

... out back in the school cafeterias on the same food prep tables that the school lunches are make on.

They try their best not to schedule sex change operation surgeries while school lunch is being served in order to avoid issues of cross contamination. But often times it is unavoidable.

[allegorical oracle]

17. He's effing psychotic. Should he ever win in Nov., he needs to have a thorough

psychiatric work-up before being allowed anywhere near the nuclear button. His followers are just plain pitiful.
