Donald Trump’s rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, featured a false claim suggesting that schools are performing gender-affirming surgeries on children without parental consent, creating alarm for parents.
In a repeated assertion, Trump claimed that children could return home from school having undergone surgeries without parents being aware, hinting at a lack of parental control over their children's medical decisions.
The claims made by Trump are misleading, as gender-affirming surgery is rarely performed on minors and is always done with parental knowledge and consent.
Critics of Trump pointed out that his statements lack evidence and highlight his tendency to intensify fears surrounding LGBTQ+ issues, further complicating the conversation involving minors and medical care.
