Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance falsely suggested that white, upper- and middle-class teenagers are pretending to be transgender to secure college admissions.
The GOP's anti-trans narrative centers around unfounded claims that transgender identity is leveraged by privileged students to navigate educational complications.
In contrast to Vance's assertions, studies indicate transgender individuals face greater barriers in higher education, marked by discrimination and inadequate support.
Vance's comments reflect a troubling trend of mainstream political rhetoric that perpetuates myths about transgender individuals while ignoring the real challenges they face.
