Meet the Press interviews for 2023 races: on Health Care


Vivek Ramaswamy: Gender dysphoria is suffering; we're creating more of it

Gender dysphoria for most of our history, although it's in the DSM-5, has been characterized as a mental health disorder. And I don't think it's compassionate to affirm that. I think that's cruelty.

Gender dysphoria, for the rare few people who have suffered it, is a condition of suffering. My question is, why on earth are we going out of our way to create even more of it? And there's no doubt that the cultural movement in this country, even education, is creating more gender dysphoria.
