Nancy Pelosi says s.*x changes for trans kids is something she’s working for ‘at the national level

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that s*x changes for transgender children is something she’s working for “at the national level.”

Earlier in the day, Pelosi toured the San Francisco VA Medical Center to review health-system upgrades, research initiatives and—according to a press release from her staff—the thr**t that House Republicans might slash core veterans’ services.

While speaking with reporters, she was asked how her office was responding to pauses to “gender-affirming care” in California.

“That is something I’m working for at the national level, and we are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids,” Pelosi said. “It’s a sad thing for us… I don’t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in Congress.”

She called the situation “really sad, adding that a transgender-pride flag—five horizontal stripes of light blue, pink and white—hangs outside her office. Pelosi also said several colleagues display the same flag.
