Rep. Seth Moulton: Democrats aren't openly talking about trans issues due to fear | On Balance

unless someone transitions

[@randomtees]

there's a difference between males (trans women) playing women's sports vs. males (trans women) using women's bathrooms. we can't hire a bathroom monitor to stand guard outside every restroom in America. also, trans women have been using the women's bathroom for 40+ years. there's precedent, unlike with sports. also, biological sex is different from gender and yet both the leftists and MAGAs seem to have forgotten this distinction.

[@user-di8hm2jl2u]

I get very upset because no one asked women how they felt about this. This was just pushed down our throat. Our personal spaces have been invaded by people who claim to be women and are not.

[@noracharles80]

Bravo, well said.

[@jessicastockstill6338]

Our oppressors should not be able to identify as us and we should not be called bigots for refusing

[@nourishday6247]

Correct. The media NEVER talks to women who are critical of this issue. There are many Dem parents who disagree with this!

He lost me when he said we need to have a debate about this issue. We have had the debate about this issue and now we must resolve this issue. We elected Donald Trump and he was elected specifically to resolve this issue

[@CTheMuse]

😮 This is why the Democrats lost. So out of touch.

[@CapWalks1]

This is the number one reason that Kamala Harris did so poorly.

[@blackout07blue]

😂 4% of voters say they based their vote on any issue related to transgender. The election was about inflation and border/immigration.

[@jamesc.7988]

The time for talking is over. Actions speak louder than words. Do something about the problem or continue losing elections.

only in US is this debate. the world is waiting till you guys catch up on COMMONSENSE

[@tyler9281]

"I'm not a bathroom expert." Congressman, this issue does not require expertise. You cannot talk your way out of biological reality.

[@ashleyc506]

If there are no legal requirements for transition beyond stating “I am a woman”, then there actually no distinction between a man and a trans woman. Because there are no requirements, a man and a transwoman are one in the same.

[@kellymartin5475]

I love when politicians are free thinkers and can differ from their party, for the greater good.

[@avi8terrfwg317]

Your headline is misleading. This lawmaker has a private bathroom AND there are multiple unisex restrooms throughout the Capitol. This person will not need to use the men's room.

[@barbieknight6761]

There are no exceptions. There is no grey area here. It is exactly what it is and it isn’t exactly what it isn’t.

[@rocklandstone5475]

This is such BS

[@a.c.willia7011]

Don’t let him fool you. I live in Massachusetts and I can tell you for a fact that Seth Moulton is just as radical as the rest of the party. Just ask him how he feels about the 2nd Amendment.

[@michaeldewitt5229]

This congressman is one of few elected democrats who appears to be reasonable, rational, and honest about some of the issues that hurt the Democratic party in this year's national election and has the balls to say it publicly.

[@lacasadelmango8712]

This host is insufferable and makes it hard to listen to this very important conversation.

[@nourishday6247]

Be an ADULT in the room Democrats. The only way forward is to talk about TOUGH THINGS. Raw honesty. People may not like Trump's ways but they all say.. "At least he knows What a Woman is. And man should not be in Women's Sports".. This is the Common Sense thread that leads many to Trump. "Dems, you can't be both: "WEIRD" and "ARROGANT." Pick one or the other. - Comedian Andrew Schulz

Hakeem Jeffries also privately told Riley Gains he agreed with her before she testified before Congress and then publicly skewered her and said the opposite.

[@deepoole820]

Seth Moulton, I hope you are going to support Nancy Mace after all you've said lately.

[@noracharles80]

Apples and oranges. Mace, first woman to graduate from the citadel is in no way comparable. They sure as hell didn’t make her go and pee in a urinal in the men’s restroom at the citadel.

I like that they touched on the weaponizing of the trans issue. If you say sex is binary you can lose your job, your kids, your life.

sorry bernie youre kinda old

[@IlseLujanPeterson]

My two cents…although it’s only a VERY SMALL fraction of people we are talking about…if a transgender woman has completed the “transition” from male to woman with their “bodily parts” and have medically & legally completed the proper procedures, I don’t think I would mind sharing my restroom with this person. Of course, we all have opinions so this should be a state voting matter as well? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Voted Trump/Vance ticket. 🇺🇸

What does it takes to be a bathroom expert?

He is no longer welcome in the (D) party.

[@jchfuture]

why?

[@dimitryzarkh2084]

Seth is sounding like a Republican. Let's sell out human rights for the most vulnerable Americans since Republicans demand it. I think it's time to switch parties, Mr. Moulton.

Did you listen to the last half of the interview and what he said about the Congressional bathroom issue?

Pretty sure women and girls being sexually assaulted are also pretty vulnerable, like statistically astronomically more vulnerable.
