Megan, she ran for governor against Andrew Cuomo in a Democratic primary, and she got 35% of the vote. That was a left-wing challenge. That was probably 34% more than she deserved to get. She's spoken out against Israel and seems to care more about Hamas than the dead Israeli children that are the victims of terrorism. But as far as on this issue, look, I am...

I'm glad that Mike said what he said, too, because gender dysphoria is a real thing. And I think that it's important to treat these children with compassion. I do agree that it's different when you're a child as when you're an adult. But at the same time, about 1%, about 1.5% of our country is identified as trans.

And I do think that a lot of the conversation we have is inflating that number to make it seem like they're in every corner alley, they're coming to get you. And I think that It's important to realize we're talking about a very, very small group of people. I worry about discrimination against them. At the same time, I hear you.

I think when you're a juvenile and you can't make the decisions for yourself under the law, that perhaps we shouldn't be allowed, children should be allowed to have that surgery. Now, the hormone blockers are a little different. I get it that parents should generally have the say in their child's health, and lawmakers may want to curtail that when it comes to this area. But

That one's a little more confusing to me. I just think it's clear, though, on the surgery that should be when you're an adult.

Megan, it's interesting you bring up 11-year-olds. As a prosecutor, we do differentiate under the law an 11-year-old from a 17-year-old. We're not even allowed to direct file an 11-year-old into adult court in Florida. You can direct file, obviously, a 16, 17-year-old. And so perhaps that's where it should be, where there could be different rules in place

for an 11-year-old compared to a 17-year-old. But I get it. I understand as a parent why you are concerned. I just think since the gender dysphoria is real, and I'm not a doctor that I just wish we could come to some sort of common ground on this rather than where we are right now.
