Washington State May Get Rid of Parental Consent for Gender Surgeries of Minors | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In the state of Washington, parental consent for gender surgeries could become a thing of the past. The state is considering a bill to waive the requirement in teens that run away from home and are in shelters or the foster care system. De-transitioner Oli London testified before the Washington Senate, he called the measure a move that would put already vulnerable teens at risk. London, who was born a male, underwent 32 surgeries in an attempt to look like a Korean woman, converted to Christianity last year, stopped the surgeries and told the world his story. Social Media Influencer, Oli London, joins to talk about this bill. Advocates say kids without access to gender affirming care have life-long challenges in terms of mental health. London shares what he has to say about this. It is not just a matter of transgender surgeries for minors, the debate is also raging about parental notification especially in the United States. He gives us his reaction to that. London discusses whether the media and entertainment industry portray the transitioning process as it is. London reveals a big project he has been working on. The book will be released later this year and in the chapter about his journey to faith, London references the parable of the lost sheep. He explains more about that. London fills us in on how he has been received by the world at large and specifically by Christians and Catholics. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
