Most disagree with Biden on gender transition surgery for children
Biden's view that its "immoral" to prevent children from receiving hormones and surgery to transition from one gender to another is opposed by most Americans.
A large majority of Americans think children who want to change genders should wait until they are adults.
WHY IT MATTERS -- This puts President Biden, who recently said it is "outrageous" and "immoral" to prevent children from receiving so-called "gender affirming care", at odds with most Americans.
