Federal officials should consider pausing or withdrawing government approval of the drugs used in gender-transitioning procedures such as those administered to Nashville Covenant  School shooter Audrey Hale, according to a Tennessee congressman.

“I think it certainly warrants some sort of investigation and or hearing into the matter. These are powerful drugs; they have side effects that can clearly be dangerous, if not deadly. And so I think it does call into question whether or not these drugs should be on the market and certainly consideration of the question of should there be further guidance and warnings and stipulations given as to when they are administered or prescribed,” Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) told The Epoch Times on May 5.
