(LifeSiteNews) — Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar last week urged that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigate the actual science behind so-called “Gender Affirming Care” for minors that involves the chemical and physical mutilation of children.
Gosar, who has represented Arizona’s fourth district since 2013 and is currently running for reelection, made the remarks in an October 21 letter addressed to NIH Acting Director Dr. Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., and Dr. Karen Parker, Ph.D., M.S.W., who heads up the NIH’s Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO).
Noting that the SGMRO is slated to conduct a workshop to “identify and prioritize key infrastructure and research” to support “gender affirming care for transgender and gender diverse population,” Gosar urged the officials to look into existing research that he said debunks theories about the beneficial effects of surgical and pharmaceutical gender interventions.
Our children are the very future of our civilization, and they must be protected at all costs.
