“Transgender rights are once again in the national spotlight. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens to assault Sarah McBridge, the first trans member of Congress. Chase Strangio, a trans attorney, argues before a hostile Supreme Court on a Tennessee law banning youth gender transition. Donald Trump advertises ‘Kamala is for they/them. I am for you.’ Congressman Seth Moulton — and a raft of reactionary centrist pundits along with him — argue that Democrats need to back off on trans rights and other cultural issues. At the same time, there is not yet anyone advocating for direct, explicit discrimination against trans adults in key areas such as employment and housing. Rather, the current policy debate has centered itself on trans youth, which is to say on youth transition, including medical transition such as puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy.” (12/09/24)
