All it took to totally baffle Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was a simple question about the recent push by California health providers to limit gender-affirming care for minors.
Asked whether she agrees with Kaiser’s decision to restrict the use of chemical and surgical procedures for minors in California, the former U.S. House speaker spoke in non-sequiturs that ended with her bragging about hoisting a trans flag above the door of her congressional office.
“Well, that is something I’m– I’m working for at the national level,” Pelosi said, sidestepping the thorny debate roiling California’s Democratic legislature about how to respond to the state’s largest healthcare provider.
“And we have, um – how can I say it – are hoping that we can… have gender-affirming care, uh, for our… our trans kids,” she stuttered.
“I’m not totally, um — I don’t know what, um,” she tried to explain. “I don’t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in the Congress.”
But fear not, Pelosi seemed to say next: She keeps a trans flag flying outside her office.
“Outside our door, we have a trans flag. Outside of our door in the, um, Capitol, um, in the- in… the office, as do some of our colleagues.”
