Graham Platner says the fears driving anti trans policies aren’t showing up in reality, arguing the claims about harm “would have already materialized” if they were true, and pointing to a broader shift targeting #Transgender youth #LGBTQ #Rights #Politics “If these horrors… were going to materialize, they probably wouldn’t have by now,” he says, noting there have been no widespread lawsuits or evidence supporting those claims. “Most people know that not all of those things have happened.” He concludes the timing matters, arguing “this policy is only now being discussed because of a culture… targeting transgender youth,” framing the debate as political rather than based on documented harm. — The government has no business telling anyone how they can or cannot choose to live in their own body. I stood up for trans kids before I ever considered running for office in my local community, and I’ll continue to fight for the trans community in the U.S. Senate. Trans rights are human rights.
