Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany described her decision to have a mastectomy as a “difficult one” and warned against Democrats’ attempts to push such medical procedures on children.

McEnany shared she elected to have a mastectomy in 2018 after learning she was high-risk for developing breast cancer, calling it “life-altering.”

“It is permanent and cannot be undone,” McEnany said while hosting Fox News Tonight. “It is emotional.”

McEnany pointed to Texas Senate Bill 14, which looks to ban gender transition surgeries for children.

“The rights of transgender people — that is not what this is about at all,” McEnany said. “We are talking about children — children having life-changing operations that are irreversible.”

“The decision to have a mastectomy is a difficult one, not to be taken lightly, not to be made by innocent child in the firm grasp of state government,” she added.

“No government authority carried my child from conception to birth,” McEnany continued. “No blue governor will ever love my child the way that I do. No liberal state should sanction my child losing a piece of herself. And yet that’s exactly what Democrats are enabling.”

McEnany also spoke with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has opened an investigation into Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas following leaked video of a social worker saying the hospital provides “gender-affirming care” for patients “as young as 8, 9.”

“We want to know if they are performing these surgeries, these puberty blockers, anything that we think might be in violation of state laws,” Paxton said. “They’ve denied it. I hope that’s true.”

Paxton said Dell Children’s Medical Center has until May 30 to respond.
