In light of HB2 recently passed in North Carolina, and bills alike in other states, that are discriminatory against transgender citizens, Republican presidential candidate, Ted Cruz, released an ad attacking Donald Trump's support of transgender individuals using restrooms according to the gender they identify with. While one purpose of the ad was to attack Trump, it also made the claim that transgender people are "men pretending to be women". When asked by CNN news anchors this morning, Cruz's Campaign Chairman refused to own up to the statement by deflecting the conversation to Donald Trump, but Ted Cruz made a statement himself that someone who is transgender should not be in a little girls' bathroom.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this, Crystal. It is sad to see the LGBTQ community be demonized and bullied, especially by someone who may be the next president of the United States.
