Musk, considered ‘the world’s most powerful influencer,’ denounced sterilizing ‘gender transitions’ for minors in the strongest terms.
(LifeSiteNews) — Elon Musk on Friday skewered the practice of “gender transitions” for children in a show of support for Florida’s ban on transgender interventions for minors.
“Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life,” Musk tweeted in response to a comment noting that Florida governor Ron DeSantis has affirmed a state ban on so-called “sex changes” for children.

Sterilization is a result of the use of puberty blockers followed by cross-sex hormones, which are admittedly taken in succession the “vast majority” of the time by minors who wish to “change” their sex. Critics of “transgender” interventions for minors argue that it is child abuse to allow a 16-year old — who isn’t considered old enough to vote, join the military, or even consent to most medical treatment — to be permanently sterilized, as if they were capable of informed consent to such a decision.
