Question regarding Harris and trans rights [View all]

Hello, Beautiful People! I’m a cis woman (she/they) who has a white trans/queer couple as housemates. They are both 30+ years younger than me and often hear news of the LGBTQ+ world that passes my old white ass by.

One of them told me they weren’t happy with Harris because she sent trans people to prisons that corresponded to their assigned gender at birth. 😳 I have never heard anything about this!

Important to note that this housemate is an anarchist and doesn’t vote, so maybe they’re mixing up something they heard years ago? Also important to note, if it was back in 2015/16, they were a “straight, married Morman” but beginning to understand some truths about themselves, so that might have colored any recollections.

Anyway, I’m not trying to shit-stir. I’m behind Harris 100%! Just looking for outside context/perspective/reality check/etc. from DUers because it sounds so bizarre! Like, if it happened was it because of the law at the time and her hands were tied? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks in advance, All!
