Kamala Harris speech from 2023 on transgender rights risks boomerang with American voters
2024-09-04
[JUSTTHENEWS] “What Vice President Harris calls anti-equality laws are seen as common sense by most Americans,” pollster Scott Rasmussen says.

A year before she pushed Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...

delivered a speech in which she equated the fight for equality with allowing biological males to participate in female sports, genetic boys having access to girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms, and transgender surgeries for children even if their parents don’t consent.

Before a friendly audience in New York, Harris boldly promised to fight "extremist" laws from Texas to Utah and Tennessee to Idaho that sought to maintain the status quo of recognizing there are just two genders — male and female — and preserve parents’ rights to decide what is best for their children when it came to what they are taught, what they read, what pronouns they use and what medical procedures they undergo.

"These Death Eater so-called leaders have proposed and passed more than 75 new anti-equality bills across our country," Harris declared in June 2023, predicting such laws would deny "life-saving gender-affirming care" to kids and "sentence medical providers to prison" if they operated on or treated children without parents’ consent.

"Friends, as we are clear-eyed about this moment, let us all see, also, the larger context in which this is happening," the vice president added. "Because this fight is not only about teachers in Florida or young people in Tennessee. This fight is about all of us, because when you attack the rights of any American, you attack the rights of all Americans."

The June 2023 speech made few ripples at the time for Harris, but it is the sort of policy position that will attract scrutiny in the final 60 days of a razor-close presidential race where she sits as the Democratic Party's nominee and is facing a high-stakes debate with Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
in days.

The positions Harris staked out that day collided with prevailing American sentiments and conflict, in some cases, with the policies of close U.S. allies like Great Britannia, whose National Health Service has stopped prescribing puberty blockers in most cases for children with gender dysphoria on grounds there is "not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness."
