During a Wisconsin legislative hearing on Assembly Bill 104, which aims to ban gender-affirming healthcare for minors, an elderly conservative man named Larry expressed a profound change of heart about transgender rights. Initially supportive of the bill, Larry revealed how engaging with transgender individuals and listening to their stories changed his understanding of gender identity. Meanwhile, lawmakers debated the bill, with Republicans asserting it protects children while Democrats criticized the lack of expertise behind the legislation.
"I was invited here to give my support for Bill 104. I have very little knowledge of gay people and things like that. So, when I came here, my eyes were opened."
"I was one of the critics who made the decision that there were only two genders, so I got an education that was unbelievable... my perspective for people has changed."
