It’s outrageous that individuals like the trans drag queen “Peppermint,” a former star of RuPaul’s Drag Race, are given platforms to push for transgender procedures on minors. These leftist activists want to strip lawmakers of their rightful role in protecting children from such controversial practices.
On Wednesday, a drag star named Peppermint appeared on CNN’s “Newsnight with Abby Phillips” alongside another trans activist, Shane Diamond, both representing GLAAD. They discussed the U.S. Supreme Court case concerning Tennessee’s law that bans sex change drugs and procedures for minors who claim they are transgender.
Peppermint and Diamond used deceptive language, referring to irreversible and experimental trans procedures as “healthcare” and puberty blockers as puberty “delayers.” They arrogantly claimed that the science is settled, ignoring the fact that even some western European countries have reconsidered their positions.
“I think that lawmakers should not be the arbiters of people’s healthcare. That should be between the patient and the doctor,” Peppermint said, later adding: “I don’t think being transgender or seeking medical care is political. I think it has been politicized largely by the right to create this type of conversation, to create these wedges.”
Diamond later referred to puberty blockers as puberty “delayers,” trying to downplay the serious risks associated with these experimental drugs, including mental illness, brittle bones, and sterility.
“This is a delay. This is fully reversible,” Diamond claimed, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
Peppermint is just one more celebrity jumping into this debate around the Supreme Court case. Others include Hollywood elites like Annette Bening and Elliot Page, formerly Ellen Page.
The Supreme Court is expected to release its decision on the Tennessee case sometime in 2025.
