A Democratic Reckoning on Gender Identity ? | City Journal

From hiding children s gender transitions in schools from their parents to letting boys compete in girls sports; from replacing words like woman and breastfeeding with uterus haver and chest-feeding to supporting sex change surgeries for children; from appointing a Supreme Court justice who wouldn t define woman because she is not a biologist to diverting millions of federal dollars to researchers who suppress scientific evidence that puberty blockers don t work; it is hard to think of a single transgender policy that the Biden administration did not support, directly or indirectly, that Harris walked back from on the campaign trail. Bill Clinton, seeing the writing on the wall, urged Harris s team to respond to the Trump campaign s devastating attack ad Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you. They ignored him.

That proved costly. As the New York Times reported, polling by Harris s leading super PAC found that Trump s Kamala is for they/them ad swung the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump s favor after viewers watched it. This alone could have won Trump the popular vote, and possibly some swing states.
