PBS News Hour ^ | 11/20/23 | Amna Nawaz,Joshua Barajas,Jackson Hudgins,Adam Kemp

His election has communities of trans people and their allies fearful of widespread discrimination and a loss of health care access.

Polls show that more than 60 percent of Americans support protecting transgender people from discrimination. But they have also found that 55 percent believe support for trans rights has — quote — "gone too far."

We spoke with three Americans, a parent of a trans daughter, the executive director of a trans crisis hot line, and a two-spirit activist and parent to a two-spirit kid. That's a term used by indigenous people that acknowledges the diverse nature of gender and sexuality.

Just out of curiosity, what special privileges do transgenders have that we don’t?

Immunity from prosecution?

There is no such thing as the right to impose your delusions on others.

PBS & NPR should receive no funding from taxpayers. They should base their survival the same way any other media business does. If they don’t have the audience and advertisers, adios. Oh, end any tax exempt status for them too.

What they’re really trying to protect is not rights, but privileges and advantages over others.

As the song lyrics go, “I’m looking for the guy supplying the dimes.”

As citizens they have inalienable rights. Their gender identity, rights do not exist when it affects actual biological women who also have inalienable rights.

Trump is just trying to protect the rights of 99% of Americans. The 1% weirdo’s want to control the American people.

There's NO LAW on the books that says 'men pretending to be women' must be accepted as women.

There's no law on the books saying citizens who think they're GOD, have the right to force the rest of us to worship them.

I don't object to people having delusions - life can be hard - but I do object to them forcing me to believe their delusions and to act 'accordingly'. NOT GONNA DO IT.

Protected status. And the gender transition surgery, do they pay for that or can they have free elective surgery on our dime.

Besides, they want the privileges, they don’t necessarily have lots. Yet.

Transgender people have nothing to fear.

They exist and they are safe.

Bathrooms, locker rooms and women’s sports are off limits.

Live and let live.
