    What does that even mean? There are at least 50 different laws regarding gender affirming care in the US because of our dumbass constitution. So this means… whatever each state has as their laws on the books is a-ok with her? So if goddamn Alabama has shitty laws, you (Kamala) support those laws?

    If “leave it to the states to decide” is her actual implied position, then she isn’t actually supporting trans rights and won’t do anything to preserve them. Trans rights were literally the very thing every dem brings up when we say there’s no difference between her and Trump. To let the states restrict trans rights as much as they want IS the position of Trump and the GOP, jfc!

    And not that it should matter ofc, but note that the interviewer didn’t say something like “let minors have access to gender affirming care”. So according to Kamala, if a state makes a law that blocks say a 45 year old from accessing care, then she’s good with that I guess? I mean there are transphobes out there who would pass laws for that.

      100%

      Leaving it up to the states is the de-facto way of absolving yourself of the need to do anything.

        It’s gay marriage all over again. Conservatives lost that fight, so they’ve moved on to the next vulnerable group. Dems are frothing at the mouth, eager to join republicans so they can take off their mask regarding homosexuality after trans rights are eliminated.

      It makes sense. She threw in with Biden, whose official position in A Debate was that segregation should be left up to each state to decide.
