What Democrats Are Getting Wrong About Transgender Rights

[iemanja]

54. taxpayers don't fund fertility treatments, abortion, or even obesity, from what I am aware

Under what circumstances would the government fund such procedures? Private medical insurance does not fund those procedures, except for obesity surgery in case of extreme obesity.

Prisoners don't get basic health care. Surely you know that. And how is taxpayer funded surgery for undocumented prisoners an issue? It isn't. It affects no actual human beings. So why let the GOP cast the discussion in those terms?

We didn't hear from the Harris campaign about trans rights during the campaign. I submit that was a mistake because it allowed Trump to tie her to an extreme position that isn't even real, all because of that ridiculous ACLU quiz. Biden didn't answer the question, and he wasn't a bad president for trans rights, was he? Why did the party need to bend to the ACLU on taking quizzes like that. The party, I submit, needs to address the issue head on instead of letting the GOP control the messaging on the issue in the most extreme terms. I personally think it should, or might be, cast in terms of equal rights and people minding their own damn business.
