At a recent rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Donald Trump falsely claimed children are receiving gender-affirming surgeries at schools without parental consent. He said, “Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, ‘Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school,’ and your son comes back with a brutal operation?” While he is spreading lies once again through his hateful speeches, the truth is that such surgeries for minors are exceedingly rare. Research shows that gender-affirming hormone therapy improves trans youth's mental health significantly. We think Donald Trump should use his time to highlight the real challenges in education, not the imagined crises he suggests. #Students & Youth Culture
