Democrat Wisconsin Representative Lee Snodgrass compared radical transgender surgery for children to her Republican colleagues getting spray tans and using hair dye in a bizarre rant on the floor of the Assembly Thursday.
“If an adult can go get a spray tan, or dye their hair, or take medication to alter their appearance or their health, why can’t we trust families and medical professionals to make decisions about gender-affirming care?”
Snodgrass spoke in opposition to a Republican bill that would allow children harmed by trans surgeries to sue health care providers and made a head-scratching comparison to temporary beauty enhancements.
“This is no different. It’s about personal choice, bodily autonomy, and not government overreach into private medical decisions.”
