REPORT: Tina Shah Wants Taxpayer-Funded Sex Changes for Kids

Radical Democrat Tina Shah wants taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids, saying trans health care is a “no-brainer” and a “right, period.”

Shah’s far-left stance makes sense, as she was an advisor to the Surgeon General under Biden who also advocated for sex changes for kids.

Tina Shah, an ER physician and former Biden administration official, appeared to back taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for minors in a video obtained by Fox News Digital.

When asked whether children should have the “right to transgender healthcare,” Shah replied, “This is a no-brainer.”

“Healthcare is a right, period,” the New Jersey Democrat added. “It includes transgender children.”

Shah’s apparent embrace of “transgender healthcare” for minors aligns with the views of her former boss, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who denounced Republican-led states cracking down on child sex-change procedures during the Biden administration. Shah served as a senior advisor to Murthy in 2021 and 2022.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, House Republicans’ campaign arm, sharply criticized Shah’s support for “transgender healthcare” for children in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Radical Democrat Tina Shah said it loud and clear: She’d be a vote for radical policies like sex changes for minors and taxpayer-funded drag queens,” NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said. “Shah is completely out of step with Garden State families.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Shah’s campaign prior to publication.
