Charlotte Clymer, a transgender activist, appeared on MSNBC's The Katie Phang Show to address the political climate surrounding transgender issues. Clymer criticized Democrats for their lack of engagement, suggesting it could lead to severe electoral repercussions. She pointed out that Republicans are effectively using trans issues in their campaigns while Democrats remain silent. The discussion also touched on Maine's legal action against Trump’s executive order limiting transgender athletes’ participation in sports. Clymer urged Democrats to recognize that science supports gender-affirming care and to actively defend transgender rights.
I'm not seeing a lot of fight from Democratic leadership in Congress, and that is a huge mistake. The problem with this thinking is that we have an open goal.
Only one party is really talking about trans issues. It's the Republican Party. They've made trans issues one of their central topics in campaigning and the national discourse.
It's very easy to fight back on trans issues. The science is on our side; every credible medical organization has come out and endorsed gender-affirming care.
The federal government threatening to withhold funds over refusal to comply could potentially impact or even end food programs for children and disabled adults.
