Bloomberg referred to trans-women as ‘it’ and ‘some guy in a dress’ (billionaire nerd strikes again)

After a campaign ad touted the ex-NYC mayor as “incredibly sensitive” to the LGBTQ community, a video resurfaced of Bloomberg referring to transgender people as “he, she or it” and “some guy in a dress” — the second time he’s been caught making such comments.

Bloomberg used the language to warn 2020 Democratic hopefuls against stressing transgender issues, arguing that they wouldn’t play well in middle America.

“If your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,” he said at a Manhattan forum hosted by the Bermuda Development Agency. He delivered a similar remark about a “man wearing a dress” while making the same point at Oxford in 2016.

Despite the flippant language, his spokesperson said the candidate stands behind transgender rights and “understands the transgender community has been under attack for decades and the advance of rights has not been equal."

In April 2002, during his first year as mayor, Mike signed a sweeping transgender civil rights bill into law,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “His company provides comprehensive health care coverage for his transgender employees......adding, “as president, he has a comprehensive plan to secure rights for transgender Americans, including the Equality Act, ensuring transgender people have access to affirming health care, and working to end the crisis of violence against transgender women.”

All these reports about Bloomberg speaking the truth are helping him, not hurting him.

The guy is right on a lot of stuff but does not express it very well...

If students cannot behave in school how would they behave at work?...

Those comments don’t bother people that vote for Trump. They’ll very much bother the intersectional virtue-signalers on the other side.

“All these reports about Bloomberg speaking the truth are helping him, not hurting him.“

Yes, that’s the idea.

i don’t know. But it is clearly utter madness to look at a man, and agree he is really a woman.
I don’t know of as many women insisting they are men.
There was that psycho who had the baby as the “first pregnant man”. But usually it is a man that wants us to think he’s a delicate flower. ( like Michelle Obama wants us to see he her a petite, in-shape woman, when she is more like Floyd Mayweather)

He is absolutely right, and the NY Post can go kiss the NY Daily News because it’s not much different from it.

They might help in the general but given the current Democrats, it’ll ensure that he never makes it to the general.

FLASHBACK: Bloomberg on a potential police strike (in an effort to force more gun control)

Jul 23, 2012

Bloomberg backs down on cop-strike-for-gun-control

July 26, 2012

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is backing away from his call earlier this week for an illegal strike by police officers, saying now that he didn’t mean a “literal” strike.

On the Piers Morgan show on CNN earlier this week, Bloomberg was reacting to the fact that the suspect in the Aurora, Colo., mass murder had a shotgun, a rifle and two handguns.

“I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike,” he said on the show.

He said the officers should send the message, “We’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe.”

(snip)

But according to a report on New York’s CBS affiliate, a strike by police officers in New York would violate state law.

Bloomberg “clarified” his remarks in light of that, the report said.

“I don’t mean literally go on strike,” he told the station.

Michael Bloomberg Proposed Ban on Baby Formula as NYC Mayor

The Daily Mail reported at the time:

Mayor Bloomberg has demanded that hospitals stop handing out baby formula to persuade more new mothers to breastfeed their babies.

The New York City health department will monitor the number of formula bottles being given out and demand a medical reason for each one.

Bloomies statement is guaranteed to take some of the prance out of the fairycakes or starch out of their tutu’s.

and working to end the crisis of violence against transgender women.”

Why is there violence against 'transgender' (fake) women? Because no man wants to find out that the chick he has been hoping to get lucky with all night is really a guy!

If 'transgender' women don't want to be subject to violence then they need to stop impersonating women!
