Part 8/9:
An important and sensitive topic discussed was the approach to gender identity among youth. Smith advocates for cautious and evidence-based practices to prevent young people from making irreversible medical decisions too early. Her administration has set age limits on medical interventions related to gender transition, putting children's welfare at the forefront of policy.
This balanced approach aims to safeguard youth from potentially harmful decisions, while still extending the necessary support and advocacy for those in need.
