I'm sure it will be very hard-hitting and Leftist

    Contrapoints being interviewed by Hillary “Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority” Clinton (and yes that’s a direct quote)

    Hope she made it count

      Some more Hillary Clinton quotes on trans people:

      I do think there is a legitimate concern about women’s lived experience and the importance of recognizing that, and also the importance of recognizing the self-identification [of trans people]

      There are women who'd say [to a trans woman], ‘You know what, you've never had the kind of life experiences that I've had, so I respect who you are, but don't tell me you're the same as me.’

      Reading through these interviews, it’s also pretty clear that the writers are cleaning up her quotes for her. She refers to “woman” and “trans woman” as mutually exclusive categories. I guarantee she’s referred to “the transgenders” at some point. Regardless it’s complete TERF shit

        I remember Sandersspam defending that by saying "Bernie Bros insist everyone must be 'pure' in politics." Great people.

          Can't believe these Union bros are imposing their anti-slavery purity nonsense onto the South. Can't they tolerate nuanced debate?
