Related: About this forumNikki Haley Falsely Connects Trans Athletes to Girls' Suicide - Yet Again
...Theres a lot of things. I mean, you want to start with biological boys playing in girl sports. Thats one thing, Haley said. The fact that we have gender pronoun classes in the military now, I mean, all of these things that are pushing what a small minority want on the majority of Americans, its too much. Its too much.
According to Haley, The womens issue of our time is the idea that we have biological boys playing in girls sports.
My daughter ran track in high school. I dont even know how I would have that conversation with her, she noted. How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker rooms? And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year. We should be growing strong girls, confident girls.
Haley was referring to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from February that found one out of three girls in the U.S. have seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.

(159,372 posts)1. this is really, truly disgusting
anxiety and depression in teenage girls is a very serious issue and the idea that Ms. Haley wants to blame this on TRANS FOLK should immediately disqualify her for ANY political office
...just had the conversation with my daughter... she was out and heard on the radio and came home disgusted that Nikki Haley would say these things... R's are becoming more dangerous everyday! they are driving fear and hate

Can work towards restoring reproductive freedom and the standard of health care for women
And do something about gun violence against women especially by male partners
She should STFU.
