Citation From the August 19 edition of Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle:

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Crystal, your son told you he was transgender, but what happened when you asked Rutgers [University] questions about this?

CRYSTAL LOPEZ (THE KELSEY COALITION): They basically told me that they were not required to look into any of his underlying issues, so I could not find out if there were other mental disorders that were triggering this thought in my son. And when I asked the therapist to help my son feel comfortable in his body, she said that that was considered conversion therapy, and that was illegal in New Jersey. So the only thing they could do was to continue to affirm my son and lead him down the path of transition with hormones and surgeries.

INGRAHAM: Did your son indicate before going to school that he, you know, that he had these feelings and he was uncomfortable in his own body or own skin or thinking?

LOPEZ: No. Never. As a child, he never showed any signs of feeling uncomfortable. This is why I question this, because if it was something that he experienced as a child, it would have naturally come out. At the age of 19, he decides that he’s transgender after watching hours of YouTube videos and talking to people that encourage him. So, it -- they can tell me that -- he’s just not. He's not. It's something else that's triggering this, and no one will help him find out what it is.

INGRAHAM: Well, what does he say to you, if you don't mind my asking? I mean, he's an adult. He’s 19 years of age. I mean, under any state law, he could, you know -- the problem is, you can -- a lot of parents are writing to us saying that their children's identity is being formed for them in some circumstances. This is the way a lot of parents feel. Instead of allowing them to develop until, you know, full sexual maturity, which many researchers say really isn't until 25 for most kids. Have you reached out to any other parents or any other groups that have confronted these issues?

LOPEZ: Yes.

INGRAHAM: And what’d they say?

LOPEZ: Yes, and basically all our kids are saying the same thing. It’s as if they’re reading from a script. They tell us that they've always felt like this. They say that we just didn't see it. But I'm his mother. I raised him. I -- if I saw something, believe me, I would have -- I would have noticed. So he can't tell me that this was what he was all along, and all the other kids are saying the same thing.
