Claimant: Senate Leadership Fund
Claim: Sherrod Brown “supports sex changes for minors,” including taxpayer-funded gender-transition surgeries for children.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Brown has said that children’s healthcare decisions should be made by families and doctors rather than politicians, but the cited evidence does not establish that he specifically supports gender-transition surgeries for minors. One campaign ad also implied that a woman featured in it underwent surgery as a minor without parental consent, although she was 19 at the time.
