Yes, states are responsible for protecting children from transgenderism: Report

America is facing an “epidemic” of transgenderism among children, with more than 300,000 kids ages 13-17 identified as transgender during 2022, up by 100% from the previous estimates.

And it’s a “cause for alarm,” according to a new report from American First Policy Institute.

“Transgender identification increases risks for exposure to dangerous and irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-reassignment surgeries,” the report warns.

“Transgender identification is the first step along a path culminating in medically unnecessary, dangerous, and life-altering medical interventions. The pain and suffering caused by these (often ghastly) procedures are especially tragic, given that the premise underlying this entire field of ‘medicine’ is so obviously in error. No person possesses a ‘gender identity’ contrary to that person’s sex.”
