How Anti-Transgender Rhetoric Harms Everyone


Listen Later

Politicians and pundits have made trans rights one of their top wedge issues. They stir up outrage, and push legislation designed to divide, distract, and control.

We’ve all seen it: bills banning gender-affirming care, bathroom access, policing pronouns, especially in state legislations. Leaders pushing them claim it’s about “protecting children” or “upholding values.” 

But, it’s not! This is about consolidating power through fear.

And while trans people feel the sting of this, the harm doesn’t stop with them. It ripples outward, touching every one of us.

Because when anti-trans rhetoric spreads, it erodes compassion, truth, and freedom—for everyone.
