“again, it has been stated that these so-called treatments are safe and effective and save lives. I ask the gentlewoman again: Cite your sources. Cite your sources. You won't. That is because you know that I know all of the sources that you are going to cite. You know what I am going to say about them: about the problems with their methodology; about the pool of participants they use; about how short those studies were; and about how most of them didn't even apply to minors. You know what I am going to say, and so you won't cite your sources. Mr. Speaker, I will cite mine. We have systematic reviews that have been published and accepted throughout the scientific community. That is why the rest of the Western world is reversing their stance on this, and the United States needs to also. That is because I couldn't tell if that speech about harming kids was about our bill or about the act of conducting irreversible physiological changes on children who are going through gender dysphoria. Yes, we are trying to protect kids. We are trying to love our kids.”
