Marjorie Taylor Greene called out for fighting trans 'genital mutilation' but not circumcision

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday got some pushback from her followers after encouraging support for a bill she introduced that would make it a felony to perform any gender affirming care on a minor.

Greene, who has been a champion of the recent debt ceiling compromise reached between the White House and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, posted on Twitter that her bill deserves to be made law. The bill would also allow a minor on whom gender-affirming care is performed to bring a civil action against each individual who provided the care, a summary shows.

She posted the appeal to lawmakers on Twitter, saying, "We must pass my bill, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, to END the genital mutilation of kids in America."

"My bill would charge any person who knowingly performs 'gender-affirming' care on a minor with a Class C Felony and prohibit all taxpayer funding for this barbaric surgery," Greene continued.

Although Greene's tweet specifically said the bill would end "genital mutilation" in the U.S., the text of the legislation itself does not mention circumcision or prohibit it. Commenters were quick to point out the hypocrisy on Twitter.

"NO MORE CIRCUMCISION!!" the top verified comment says.

Another Twitter user quoted the tweet from Greene and simply added, "Are you going to ban circumcisions as well?"
