MUST-SEE: Nancy Pelosi Sputters, Appears Confused In Bizarre Rant About ‘Trans Kids’

All it took to totally baffle Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was a simple question about the recent push by California health providers to limit gender-affirming care for minors.

Asked whether she agrees with Kaiser’s decision to restrict the use of chemical and surgical procedures for minors in California, the former U.S. House speaker spoke in non-sequiturs that ended with her bragging about hoisting a trans flag above the door of her congressional office.

“Well, that is something I’m– I’m working for at the national level,” Pelosi said, sidestepping the thorny debate roiling California’s Democratic legislature about how to respond to the state’s largest healthcare provider.

“And we have, um – how can I say it – are hoping that we can… have gender-affirming care, uh, for our… our trans kids,” she stuttered.

“I’m not totally, um — I don’t know what, um,” she tried to explain. “I don’t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in the Congress.”

But fear not, Pelosi seemed to say next: She keeps a trans flag flying outside her office.

“Outside our door, we have a trans flag. Outside of our door in the, um, Capitol, um, in the- in… the office, as do some of our colleagues.”

WATCH:

Pelosi is surely reading the writing on the wall when it comes to an anguishing debate over the future of advocacy for trans rights. Progressives are grappling with cutting trans advocates loose from their policy priorities as polls increasingly show Democrats bogged down by Americans’ belief that some of their most fervent LGBT positions are extreme.

Two in three Americans want athletes to compete based on the genders they were assigned at birth, Pew Research reported this year, while 56% support banning medical care related to the gender transition of minors.

The Trump campaign was credited with one of the most effective political attack ads in history last year when it contrasted Kamala Harris’s far-left positions on trans care — including taxpayer-funded surgery for felons — with his support for everyday Americans.

“Harris is for They/Them. Trump is for you,” the state’s conclusion stated.

Democrats angling for the 2028 debate stage have responded by moderating their messaging on the issue. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, earlier this year, expressed his unease with seeing his daughters play sports next to biological boys; critics quickly pointed out that he signed expanded protections for trans athletes into state law.

“I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness. It’s deeply unfair,” he said on a March episode of his podcast. “I’m not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree with you.”
