Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a recent interview on Patrick Bet-David’s “PBD Podcast” that if his 12-year-old son said he wanted to transition, he would focus on staying involved as a parent and making sure the child felt safe and supported, and he declined to say he would advise waiting until adulthood.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore addressed questions about youth gender transition during an interview on the “PBD Podcast,” hosted by Patrick Bet-David.
Asked how he would respond if his 12-year-old son said he wanted to transition, Moore emphasized parental involvement and support, saying he would want his child to feel “safe in his own skin” and to know he had “a partner” in the process.
When Bet-David pressed Moore on whether he would advise his child to wait until turning 18, Moore declined to give that guidance, saying he would not “advise him on something that he feels,” while reiterating that he would want to remain closely involved.
In the same exchange, Moore also said he would not condemn or castigate his child or take actions such as kicking the child out of the house.
