Beyond the Scenes from The Daily Show

The GOP Attack on Trans Rights

There’s been a number of pieces of anti-trans legislation introduced around the country, with more than 300 bills proposed this year. In this episode, host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with ACLU Deputy Director for Transgender Justice, Chase Strangio, and author of “The Present Age” newsletter, Parker Molloy, to discuss the motivation behind these bills and how the attacks from conservatives have evolved from bathroom bans to women’s sports and now to gender-affirming care. Parker and Chase also discuss their own experiences, challenges, and joys of being trans in America.    Watch the original segment:    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynfnfhBJ51c&amp;t=633s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynfnfhBJ51c&amp;t=633s</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
