Huckabee: As a Girl, Katherine Hepburn ‘Wanted To Be a Little Boy’ But ‘Grew out of that Phase’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PERINO: "As a former governor, if you were looking at the situation in your state, how might you resolve this. You were talking about parents who love their child, and yet the state actually needs to, I guess, step in here and make a decision.
HUCKABEE: "I think we've got to face reality. I will grant and stipulate, they love their child, but they may not know how to love them in a way that makes sense for them biologically. Again, you can pretend that your little boy is really a little girl, but he is still a little boy, and unless you go through a gender reassignment surgery and change the biological nature of that child and the bodily functions, and there are many studies that show this is not something that ought to be entered into lightly. And, in fact, if it is, there are serious health consequences. And even in Sweden, where there is a lot more support for lgb Q activities, please know that the suicide rate is 20% higher for transgender individuals. This is not from the people ought to smirk at or laugh about, it is incredibly serious, and a lot of people seem to be staring at the face at reality and saying, no, it is not a boy or girl. It is whatever I wanted to be. I'm sorry, Dana, that is not the way life deals us. It just isn't."
PERINO: "Is certainly an interesting case in British Columbia, which apparently is the first of its kind. I imagine, governor, it won't be the last. It could to be the beginning of a trend."
HUCKABEE: "It's already the beginning of a trend. Case in point, Katharine Hepburn, when she was a little girl, didn't want to be a little girl. She wanted to be a little boy, she cut her hair off, she went with the name Jimmy because she didn't like it. She grew out of that phase and became one of the leading ladies of our time. But what if Katharine Hepburn had been allowed to just be Jimmy her whole life. That's the things were trying to deal with."
