“Men menstruate. Some have even given birth.” If you disagree, you are “attacking trans lives,” and likely one of those deplorables who support Trump.

I’m no Trump supporter, just a biologist who knows that this “new trans reality” is a dangerous fiction. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/23/opinion/trans-gender-language-trump.html
