>> This insurrectionist continues to hate. President Trump is banning
transgender people from the United States military. Following her clan leaders orders.
>> Why did you feel the need to ban transgender people from serving in the US military?
>> Because they take massive amounts of drugs. >> A lie, a flat out lie but if it's a point of
contention just know the military spends $41.6 million on Viagra.
>> I am the father of two daughters. >> Bro. We know.
>> Our girls, when they got the news that school was cancelled this week.
They said look, why don't we take a trip? And let me tell you nobody in their right mind
wants to see a grown adult man, a stranger alone in a bathroom with little girls.
Hey, hey, hey. >> Ow, ow.
>> Good job, good job.
>> Easy. >> Good job, good job.
>> Easy. >>
This man is a senator in the US, for sake. >> Don't pretend that you're exactly
the same as a biological woman. >> Some boy that's 6'2" competing
against my 5'4" niece doesn't sound very fair.
I think most people in the country think it's bizarre.
>> What's bizarre is this guy wants to cancel trans from competition but
enables the overthrowing of democracy. >> They shouldn't be competing with
people who are physiologically in an entirely different category. And I think boys should
be competing with boys and girls should be competing with boys on the athletic field.
>> Axios reports that Republicans in at least 25 states are moving forward with over
60 bills targeting trans youth specifically. The bills would limit access to schools
sports and gender affirming health care. What is happening between 2020 and 2021?
>> So recently Mississippi governor and Trump bootlicker Tate Reeves signed into law SB 2536,
a bill barring trans athletes from competing in women's sports at the high school and collegiate
levels even though there has been no evidence of trans athletes quote unquote gaming the system.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem seen here defending and campaigning for a
white supremacist said she was excited to sign the
bill to protect women's sports. >> What if I wanted to pretend
that I was 7 feet tall? People'd be like Joe, you're 5'8 like, are you an asshole?
Why are you saying I'm a 5'8? Is it discrimination, if you talk about reality?
>> Like Reeves, Noem cannot cite a single instance in their own state or region where
such participation has caused problems, just like it was never about restrooms. This bill
is not about sports. It's about pushing trans people out of public life, said Chase Strangio,
the ACLU Deputy Director for Trans Justice with the group's LGBTQ and HIV project.
In these red states the discrimination is flat out appalling. In Alabama, lawmakers
proposed a bill that would ban physicians from prescribing medication to trans children
that would affirm their gender. In Oklahoma, a proposed bill would lift a ban on conversion
therapy and other practices that aim to suppress a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity.
And in Montana lawmakers in the State House have already passed bills that restrict trans
minors' access to health care and even school sports. Only one state, Idaho,
has enacted a law curtailing trans students' sports participation and that 2020 measure is
blocked by a court ruling, good. The case they continually and frankly only bring up
including Rand Paul in a Department of Education Nominees Hearing is the state of Connecticut.
It's their Exhibit A and there's no Exhibit B. Absolutely none, said Shannon Minter, legal
director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and a prominent trans-rights attorney. Yet, when a
transgender boy, seen here, Mark Beggs of Texas wants to compete against other boys, the Lone
Star states that no, the hell with you, you're a girl, you must compete against other girls.
It's demeaning. It's degrading, then again, it's the Republican Party. What do you expect?
