NewzSenator Sara Castellanos, representing the Movimiento de Salvación Nacional, has issued a public response to Representative Mauricio Toro in Colombia. The exchange was triggered by Toro's remarks dismissing individuals who denounce gender-affirming surgeries and treatments for minors in the country as "pastorcitos mentirosos" (lying little pastors).
The controversy centers on public denunciations regarding medical procedures related to gender transition for minors. Castellanos defended the whistleblowers and pushed back against Toro's characterization of their claims, highlighting an ongoing ideological and political debate in Colombia over the regulation and ethics of gender-affirming healthcare for children.
