View MoreBillionaire business tycoon Elon Musk is continuing to speak out against permitting gender-transition measures to be performed on minors, declaring in a tweet that "'gender-affirming care for minors' is pure evil."
Musk made the comment in response to a tweet from Jordan Peterson, who had declared that the "phrase 'gender-affirming' care is a criminally evil lie."
The term refers to measures such as surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, which do almost the exact opposite of affirming an individual's immutable biological sex.
Musk indicated in a tweet last week that he intends to lobby to "criminalize" the performance of permanent gender-transition measures on kids prior to the age of consent.
"This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible," he declared.
