Former CNN host Chris Cuomo hosted the first national news coverage on “transgender youth” that predominately featured detransitioners.Ĭuomo, host of “CUOMO” on NewsNation, held “a special hour on treating transgender youth” on Thursday night that highlighted the stories of three detransitioned young women and three doctors who believe the medicalization of trans-identified minors needs to slow down.
