Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.
in Congress can likely stop it from happening if they stand together and hold the line, but it’s unclear if they will. in America: banning federal funds from going to businesses that provide health care specific to changing one’s sex or gender identity, including hormones and surgeries.
“We knew that it was going to be deployed against folks in debates, in hostile reporter questions. I didn’t think they were going to spend this amount of paid media on it,” says Lanae Erickson, senior vice president for social policy and politics for Third Way, a centrist D.C.-based nonprofit that advises Democratic staff.
“I don’t think we were saying yes or no, don’t do an ad,” he says. “I think folks were definitely cognizant of the fact that you know if you do an ad that cuts too hard, it has a really negative impact on the trans community. I think people were trying to avoid doing that as well.” The thing is, there’s very little evidence that Harris or Democrats’ support for trans rights was in itself a political liability or what swung the election for Trump and Republicans, as opposed to economic concerns or immigration. Did it maybe make a dent with a few voters? Perhaps. But was it really the deciding factor in anything?
