Marjorie Taylor Greene doubles down on fighting transgender surgeries for minors

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is standing firm in her bid to ban transgender surgeries and “gender-affirming” care on minors despite a very public and potentially violent campaign against her effort.

In a digital reelection campaign with national implications, Greene today called on the Republican Party to join her and 19 co-sponsors of her “Protect Children's Innocence Act” and challenge Biden administration officials who have suggested that even 13-year-olds should be eligible for sex-changing drugs and operations.

“We’re not even a party worth deserving of the American people’s votes if we cannot protect children from this horrific child abuse,” she says in the opening of the ad.

The ad then morphs to Rachel Levine, the transgender assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, who said, “Gender-affirming care is life-saving.”

Greene, who was “swatted” at her home three times last week by opponents of her plan, is daring critics to take further action with her ad. In the swatting cases, Greene believes her critics hoped that police would mistake her for a violent criminal and “kill me.”
