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.

Nice beer belly you got there.
Forget the taxpayers. I’ll personally pay for any transgender female that needs an abortion. I’m just that generous.
The truth was that the "former" gal kept her Uterus.
To stupid to even comment on it but yet in liberal states they’re putting feminine hygiene products in boys restrooms.
This could be extremely costly is that it would involve a huge medical investment to allow the trans-woman to conceive a child before one killed the child.
It is much more cheaper, and philosophically sound, to support Tlaib’s call for “direct reparations” for slavery (I can agree that slavery is a bad thing—why one should go to great lengths to conceive a child only to kill it is a little beyond me, but I admit I have not fully fathomed the leftist mind), though at first glance one might be equally puzzled as to why any rational person would think this should involve an expenditure of money.
As a government program, “direct reparations” would undoubtedly be costly, even though it would seem that all antebellum (and bellum) slaves are likely dead. One would need people to administer the program, which costs money, and government programs almost always have a certain amount of mistakes/fraud built in which are part of the cost of using the government to do business—undoubtedly some applications for reparations would be approved. Still, I think conservatives should pile on to this provided that it is done with appropriate funding mechanisms—

Everything the Dems promise is impossible. They could promise everyone free green cheese from the moon and nobody on the stage would bat an eye.
Lemme guess: A biological female who identifies as a “man who Identifies as a woman”?
I think this idiot has achieved trans-inception...
20 years ago, if a candidate said “Men deserve abortions too”, in a mixed crowd, most people would have just stopped, looked him in the face and said “Are you a complete moron or something?”
It’s very very sad how far we have sunk as a human race, and how fast we’ve sunk-
As the name castro implies, this man is 100% communist.
I knew he was wacko but this takes the cake. What an embarrassment for Texas. Well, really Mexico and he’s not eligible for POTUS.
Reproductive justice:
Men become empowered women by whacking off their talleywackers and having abortions.
Or something.
Gutfeld said it best. Something like this (paraphrasing from memory):
Abortion rights for pregnant men who dress in women’s clothes. Where is the constituency for this? No where! There is not one person in this category. And there never will be.
