During Wednesday night's first Democratic presidential debate, San Antonio mayor Julián Castro stated he supports taxpayer-funded abortions for "transgender women." "I don't believe only in reproductive freedom; I believe in reproductive justice," he said. "And what that means is just because a woman, or let's also not forget someone in the trans community — a trans female — is poor, doesn't mean they shouldn't exercise that right to choose."
National Review correspondent John McCormack summed up Castro's response:
It was not immediately clear whether Castro simply misspoke and made an unwoke gaffe by supporting abortion for a "trans female" — that is, a biological man who identifies as a woman — or had reached some transcendent level of wokeness by supporting tax-funded abortions in biologically impossible circumstances.
Let's assume, however, that Castro didn't misspeak and that he indeed supports taxpayer-funded abortions for "trans women," which is most likely the case. Why would Castro want taxpayers to fund something that is currently biologically impossible? Perhaps a "trans female" is a woman who becomes a man? Not at all. Although progressives are constantly altering and updating terms relating to sex and sexuality to fit their current political narrative, science be damned (he who defines the terms controls the argument), the latest liberal terminology defines a "trans female" or "trans woman" as a man who "becomes" a woman.
According to Wikipedia, which is the gatekeeper of all things progressive:
A trans woman (sometimes trans-woman or transwoman) is a woman who was assigned male at birth. Trans women may experience gender dysphoria and may transition; this process commonly includes hormone replacement therapy and sometimes sex reassignment surgery, which can bring immense relief and even resolve gender dysphoria entirely.

Comrade Kruchev, uh, Castro, pounds table, should go pound sand............
Castro made this bizarre statement, to try to bend over backwards to prove that he is liberal on “transgender” issues.
And in his zeal to do so, used incorrect terminology which nobody in the liberal world has called him out on.
Julian, maybe you need to take an online Biology Class.
You can even do it for free; so to speak.
What exactly is reproductive justice? The crowd cheered for that statement. But what does that really mean?
Hoolian advocating for men to have the right to an abortion was the highlight of the first debate. Honk Honk!!
As a former RAT myself all I can say after watching two nights of this clown show is what a f**ked up royal mess that party is. They’re a million dumpster fires going off all at once!
- Abortions for men
- No borders
- Free healthcare for non-citizens
If this platform wins the election, it might as well happen while I’m “young” and can contribute to the inevitable righting of the ship.
reproductive justice, when your X gets inadvertently pregnant by her boyfriend, who left her the day before she found out.
Another DEMAND from a detached from reality d’rat? Go figure.
DEPOPULATE Castros, Clintons, liars, looters from the body politic.

A fine example of the average Democrat — an a-hole.
There may still be seats available in the 2020 dhimmicrat clown car, though space IS limited!
I think what he means that if a biological man who chooses to be a woman also chooses to have an abortion, they should first be provided with a child by the government for that purpose. They should be able to adopt and then abort because that’s not just a reproductive right, it’s reproductive justice.
Well, I guess that locks down the “pregnant trans men” demographic for him.
I’ve suggested before that Democrats come of with a word that means “person with a womb”, or “person with body parts for bearing children”. It would make communication so much easier, since child bearing is such an integral and essential part of the human experience. If only there were a word like that!
Maybe if their best minds worked long and hard on it, they might come up with something.
Not maybe. He does
It means you and me the taxpayer are supposed to pay for birth control. Remember Sandra Fluck? It means abortion at any time for any reason(or none) paid for by the taxpayer.
