Vivek: “Transgenderism Is a Mental Health Disorder”

Once again, Vivek Ramaswamy outdid his opponents on the debate stage.

During one part of the debate, debate moderator Dana Perino asked Vivek what he thinks about children changing their identity with no parental consent.

Vivek responded to the question by saying  “Transgenderism is a mental health disorder. We have to acknowledge the truth of that for what it is.”

He continued “It is not compassionate to affirm a kid’s confusion. That is not compassion. That is cruelty.”
