Nikki Haley Dodges Transgender Question Ahead of Iowa Caucuses

GOP Presidential Candidate Advocates for Personal Freedom Post-18, Draws Criticism from Conservative Commentator Megyn Kelly

Nikki Haley, GOP presidential candidate, avoided answering the question 'Can a man become a woman?' during a virtual Iowa town hall.
Haley stated that no one should be allowed to undergo gender change surgeries before the age of 18, comparing it to the legal age for getting a tattoo.
After the age of 18, Haley said, people should be free to live as they choose, without government interference.
Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly criticized Haley's evasion of the question, calling it a 'dodge' and stating that the answer should be 'no'.
Haley's comments were made ahead of the Iowa caucuses, a key event in the GOP 2024 presidential race.
