Annette Bening Praises Parents Of Trans Kids, Gender-Affirming Procedures ‘Saves Lives’
Hollywood actress Annette Bening is speaking out in favor of gender-affirming procedures for minors. She praises the parents of transgender children for “doing what’s best for their children and saving their lives.” Breitbart News reports that Bening, who has a transgender child, spoke at a Los Angeles fundraiser for The Gay, Lesbian, Straight Educational Network in support of minors obtaining transgender medical care.
Bening told a story about a friend with a transgender child who moved to California from Texas so her child could get gender-affirming procedures. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor slammed the reality of parents being criminally charged or being reported to child protective services for doing what is “best for their child” by receiving transgender care for their minor children.
Annette said that her friend worried about child protection services taking her child from her after receiving transgender care, that she bought a burner phone and gave her child instructions to follow in case they visited or she faced legal charges.
