President Donald Trump’s guests for his State of the Union address will include Sage Blair, a young woman who was separated from her parents at age 14 after school officials attempted to secretly transition her to a male, the Daily Caller has exclusively learned.
Blair, who is now reunited with her parents and attending Liberty University, will be joined by her mom, Michele, a White House official shared with the Caller. The president plans on telling Blair’s story Tuesday during his State of the Union address where he will also call on states to ban sex transitioning operations for minors.
An official told the Caller that the White House believes this is a popular, common-sense policy, similar to keeping men out of women’s sports – which they have also opposed. The president hopes to “expose how out of touch the Democrats’ position on this issue is” during his address, the official added.
Michele Blair sued her daughter’s school district, Appomattox County Public Schools, in 2023. She argued that the school district in Virginia failed to notify her that her daughter had tried to change her gender while the teachers encouraged her to use male facilities.
The lawsuit further claimed that because the school withheld information about Sage from Michele, it led to the daughter’s declining mental state and eventually caused her to run away from home. Sage Blair was kidnapped, drugged and raped by sex traffickers, the lawsuit stated.
At one point during the legal battle, a judge ruled that Sage Blair should be separated from her parents because they did not affirm her “gender identity.” (RELATED: Trump Bans Biological Men From Women’s Sports With New Executive Order)
“Sage was put in jail and then she [the public defender] convinced the judge that because I misgendered her, not even knowing, it was all new to me … but, I misgendered her and that’s when they put her into a home for high-risk teenage boys,” Michele Blair told ABC 13 News at the time of the lawsuit.
The president has taken a strong stance against sex change procedures in the first year of his second term. In December, the Department of Health and Human Services announced new initiatives aimed at ending sex transitioning operations.
The president will also make the economy a big focus of his State of the Union address, a White House official shared with the Caller. During his big speech, the president will make economic policy announcements and highlight everyday Americans who have benefitted from a more affordable America.
