Nikki Haley Blames Trans Visibility for Teen Girls' Suicide Ideation [View all]
Speaking in New Hampshire Wednesday morning, Republican presidential aspirant Nikki Haley called transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a guy, dressed up like a girl, making fun of women and blamed trans visibility for teen girls suicide ideation.
She also called trans women in womens sports the womens issue of our time.
...Weve got biological boys playing in girls sports, said Haley, who has been governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. It is the womens issue of our time. Where is everyone? My daughter ran track in high school. I wouldnt even know how to have that conversation with her. How do we get our girls comfortable with biological boys in their locker room? Its not OK.
Everybody know about Dylan Mulvaney? Bud Light, right? she continued, referring to Mulvaneys recent promotional partnership with the beer brand, which sparked right-wing outrage. Make no mistake: That is a guy, dressed up like a girl, making fun of women. Women dont act like that. Yet everybodys wondering why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year? What are we doing to them? Were supposed to be growing strong girls, confident girls, not ones being made fun of.
