It's very telling that she couldn't name a single source - not one individual or organization, not one study, not one anything - to back up her contention that (paraphrasing) for every expert that is in favor of allowing kids with gender dysphoria to transition and providing medical care to support that, there is (according to her) one that doesn’t. If that was even almost true, she should have been prepared to back it up. But it's complete malarkey, so of course she couldn't

I suspect that what it really boils down to is that when a bunch of state legislators want to outlaw something like medical care for transgender kids, they go out and beat the bushes for "expects" who agree with them that they can bring in to back up what they want to do. Meanwhile, the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, et al., can all go to hell as far as they're concerned.

Disingenuous, lying fucks, every one of them. 😠
