Moulton told the truth about Trump’s victory. Will Democrats listen?


The Democratic congressman said his party is focused on canceling people instead of discussing issues Americans care about. He’s right.

play

If you need an example of why Democrats face a massive election defeat, check out this: recently happened to Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton. He’s a Democrat.

Following former President Donald Trump’s reelection victory, Moulton gave several interviews predicting Democratic losses.

He told a local NPR station that his party “contactless” In the opinion of most Americans.

In an interview with The New York Times, he elaborated further on how left-wing ideology is antithetical to much of the country. “I have two little girls,” Moulton said. “I don’t want them to get trampled on the playground by a male or former male athlete“But as a Democrat, I should be afraid to say that.”

Actually.

The reaction wasn’t long in coming; Some in the mainstream media called his comments “controversial”. One of Moulton’s best assistants He reportedly resigned. And chair of the political science department at Tufts University He called Moulton’s office and said he would no longer send interns to work for the congressman.

While progressives may want to smear Moulton as a hate monger, her comments about transgender athletes in girls and women’s sports be in line with the majority of the country.

The congresswoman wisely did not back down from this repeal attempt, and her fellow Democrats should listen to her common-sense approach.

“If the radical left continues to define the Democratic Party, we will continue to lose.” Moulton told MSNBC this week.

Issues like transgender athletes and gender maintenance deserve discussion

Moulton says on CNN his party is often too focused About how he can cancel people out “instead of actually debating about the issues Americans care about.”

That’s one of the reasons why so many voters turned against Democrats in this election. They were tired of being called “racist,” “transphobic,” or “sexist” just because they held views that differed from the far left.

Issues regarding transgender youth require discussion, not name-calling that inhibits conversation.

Trump did this and more Gender is a big part of its campaignand it paid off for him.

country split almost equally Between states that seek to limit medical “gender-affirming care” for transgender children and states that encourage a wide range of treatments and procedures. US Supreme Court, hear arguments in a case related to this period.

Progressives like to say science is on their side. But recent research highlights that there is still much unknown about sex hormones and the long-term consequences of surgery in teenagers. This research also shows the need for caution.

Americans need to know what the science (they pay for) really says

in October, The New York Times announced Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a physician and advocate of gender therapy for adolescents, reportedly deliberately avoided publishing the results of a study on puberty blockers.

The research, which started in 2015, monitored the effects of puberty blockers (drugs that block the natural changes that occur during puberty). in 95 children for two years.

Olson-Kennedy did not get the results she expected. According to his research, puberty blockers did not lead to improvements in mental health.

You would think this would be valuable information, especially because it uses nearly $10 million of federal taxpayer dollars to fuel wider research.

Olson-Kennedy’s excuse? He did not want his work to be “weaponized” by dissidents.

“This is a scandal of epic proportions and a perfect example of why so many Americans have lost trust in our public health institutions,” Kelsey Bolar, senior policy analyst for the Independent Women’s Forum, told me.

Bolar worked closely with young people Those who regret the transgender treatments they received and helped share their stories, Including what happened to Cristina HinemanHe is suing Planned Parenthood for giving him testosterone when he was 18 years old.

Clearly the science is not yet solved.

Democrats must listen to these and other important issues facing the country Congressman Moulton’s recommendation: “We need to have these discussions… and we start by listening to Americans.”
