Republican Missouri State Senator Elaine Gannon is under fire for questioning a 14-year-old transgender teen about their genitalia and if they will get gender-affirming surgery. Gannon devolved from talking about transgender girls participating in girl’s sports leagues to recycling talking points about bathrooms and how transgender people use the bathroom. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Aida Rodriguez discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"A Republican lawmaker in Missouri questioned a 14-year-old transgender, nonbinary child about their genitals during a legislative committee hearing earlier this month, according to a stunning video posted online Wednesday by Human Rights Campaign.
“Are you going to go through the procedure?” Sen. Elaine Gannon asks the child, Avery Jackson, seemingly referring to gender-affirming surgery, which is generally not available to a person until they turn 18, in the video. Audible groans followed.
Avery told VICE News it was the first time a random grownup—not a doctor, not a medical professional—had asked them that kind of question. Their mom, Debi Jackson, added that what the video didn’t show was her squeezing Avery’s hand in that moment, “almost in an attempt to have myself not jump up.”
“You shouldn’t be asking—let alone a trans kid, any kid,” Avery said of Gannon’s question, noting that’s how a person gets put on a “watch list.”"
