In a surprisingly bi-partisan vote, Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola joined 80 other Democrats and 200 Republicans in the U.S. House to pass a massive defense bill that specifically prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding cross-sex drugs and transgender surgeries for minor children of U.S. service members.
Approved by the House on Dec. 11 on a vote of 281 to 140, the nearly 2,000-page National Defense Authorization defunds cross-sex procedures for minors.
The strong support provided by Democrats, comes just a little over a month after the general election in which Republicans won the White House and both chambers of Congress.

For years now, many Democrats like Peltola have championed cross-sex treatments for minors, but times may be changing. Peltola lost her House seat to Republican Nick Begich, who opposes cross-sex treatments, which are coming under increasing scrutiny around the world.
Likewise, more nations are implementing bans on allowing biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use their bathrooms and changing rooms.
Organizations like LifeSiteNews have extensively documented how cross-sex drugs and surgeries have been linked to suicidality, bone density loss, heart diseases, stroke, cancer, and numerous other medical problems. Similarly, puberty blockers can also cause infertility, as they interrupt the normal development of reproductive organs.

setting her votes for a run at Lisa’s seat in two years…. slither slither slithering along
I’d rather have Mary’s slither tgan Lisa’s total defiance!
Good then don’t vote for Lisa, Mary’s no longer an issue.
To bad Mary has finally seen the light and is voting the way Alaska thinks. If she would have been neutral and voted bipartisan she might have retained her seat.
The MDAA has really put Democrats between a rock and a hard place, which is just what Mike Johnson wanted.
Actually… The democrats put themselves between a rock, and a hard place.
But, for the Liberal it’s easier to blame others than take responsibility.
Wonder how long it’ll be before David Jones sounds off about how bad this decision is, and now all those children that can make a mature decision to have to travel else where to be mutilated.
Do you consider yourself in a better position to make medical decisions for other parents’ kids? Would you want other people making decisions about YOUR kids’ emotional well-being?
Do you give in to your children’s tantrums?
What an intelligent question you ask, Paul! Im happy to address it. Do you reeeeeeally think it’s smart to mutilate your child in a reeeeediculous attempt to change their sex?? The only reason children suddenly believe they’re in the wrong body is because misguided teachers under UN orders is telling them to mislead the children as well as their parents. If you, Paul, think transgenderism is so great, you should go thru the process. Please let us know how you’re doing. I don’t expect you’ll like it. Watch a few YouTube videos of transgenders being interviewed on how much they wish they had been properly informed beforehand.
Steve, what you don’t know about me is a helluva lot. BTW, I have been a staunch supporter of biological women’s rights including legal abortion, contraception, sports and locker room-bathroom exclusivity. The national conversation should be about a fair tax system, secure borders, fair wages and health care for workers and retirees, not trans, Planned Parenthood or Gays serving in the military. Don’t be so backwards and provincial, Steve. Get out of Alaska once in a while. Go visit Europe. Learn something.
Too little, too late Mary.
Mary is a good person who hitched her dogs to the wrong sled. I just hope that my vote to hitch my sled to Begich doesn’t turn out like hers.
After all the effort to allow the mutilation of kids, now they vote against their very own efforts? I trust not. Something is amiss. But then again even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
Petola is for Petola and doing as instructed. Who knows what kind of BS the dems have cooked up this time. Can only imagine. Hoping they do their job does not get it. The Alaskan citiizen must maintain a vigilance and make sure the employee’s are doing as instructed. Can’t blame them if we are absent in our responsibilities.
