Transgender people are front and center in the political culture war in America. Many red states are trying to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. Thomas Duane, former New York State Senator and former New York City Council member and registered Democrat, along with Leslie Ann, a trans woman musician and registered Republican, and Josie, a trans woman health worker, who identifies as an Independent voter, discuss the attack on transgender youth. Josie and Leslie Ann talk about bringing back the Benjamin model of standards for transgender people wanting to transition. Leslie Ann also addresses being transgender and a Republican and talks about Log Cabin Republicans.
