This is almost my single issue. We are chopping off the healthy body parts of young children—100 percent we are doing that." Audience members can then be heard reacting to Kelly's comment.Maher responded, "We are definitely doing that.
That's what it is. I don't know what the ooing is about."A video segment of Kelly and Maher's exchange shared by Eric Abbenante, a filmmaker and comedian, has received upwards of 3.8 million views on X as of Saturday afternoon.Gender affirming care has become a contentious political topic, with over half of the states in the country having enacted laws and policies that limit youth access.Republicans have long touted that bans on gender-affirming care would protect children from making harmful lifetime decisions before they're capable of deciding whether they want to fully transition.
Meanwhile, those in favor of gender-affirming care say that preventing access to these services can cause long term suffering and mental health problems for children and teens who aren't able to live in a body that feels like their own.A U.S.
