Click stated, "She had been affirmed, taken testosterone for several years, and had a double mastectomy that she regretted." Rep. Click stressed the need for a multidisciplinary approach rather than relying solely on Gender Affirming Care, which she described as a harmful superstitious slogan.

Drawing attention to the bipartisan stance against parents consenting to female genital mutilation, Rep. Click argued that the same principle should apply to the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children. Rep. Click passionately emphasized, "No parent has the constitutional right to harm their child."
