Donald Trump asks if people can imagine a son's gender-related "brutal operation" after school
“Can you imagine … your son leaves the house and you say: ‘Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school,’ and your son comes back with a brutal operation? Can you even imagine this?”

The Justice Department, under Attorney General Todd Blanche, has sued a Kansas school district over internal guidelines that allow transgender students to use different names or pronouns without informing parents. The district denies wrongdoing and says each request is reviewed individually. The lawsuit alleges the approach hides gender transitions and could put nearly $70 million in federal funding at risk. Blanche, confirmed last month to replace Pam Bondi and previously Donald Trump’s personal defense attorney, has called the broader trend a nationwide problem. The case is described as the first of its kind. In a 2024 campaign speech, Trump evoked the scenario of a child undergoing a gender-related surgery after school to criticize parental-notification policies.
