Rep Seth Moulton (D-MA), age 46, speaks out on transgender sports, which may require a spot of searching on the reader’s part of this article:
Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton from Massachusetts said on Sunday that he stood by his opinion on transgender athletes, saying that Democrats are out of touch with majority of Americans.
Moulton, who recently won his reelection bid unopposed, told New York Times that the Democratic party should shift its approach to transgender issues, and that as a parent, he does not want his daughters “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.” [CNN/Politics]
Look for a few people to start shrieking bigot, as the Pavlovian training kicks in – but I’m not sure how many.
Rep Moulton is certainly young enough to be a long-time leader of the Democrats. This part is encouraging, too:
During the interview with CNN, Moulton said that he’s not an expert on this issue but is willing to engage in thoughtful debate.
My bold, and kudos.
