Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has explained that she’s working on a “national level” to restore gender-affirming care for trans youth, which has been limited or banned across several US states .

While visiting a medical centre in San Francisco on Thursday (7 August), the 85-year-old politician explained that the situation facing trans youth in the US is “really sad”, adding that she flies the transgender flag outside of her office.

“That is something I’m working for at the national level, and we are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids,” Nancy Pelosi told reporters when asked about gender-affirming care in California.

“It’s a sad thing for us… I don’t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in Congress.”
