Jessie McGrath, 63, a lifelong Republican who is trans, grew up around guns on farms in Colorado and Nebraska. She decided to vote for Harris when Republicans started attacking gender-affirming care and “wanting to basically outlaw my ability to exist”. She ended up being a delegate at the Democratic national convention.

“Government getting involved in making healthcare decisions is something that I never thought I would see the Republican party doing,” she said.

What the actual...how are people this ignorant.

She was 100% on board with them regulating reproductive care because it has never personally affected her as a biological male.

She only has an issue now that her favorite team turned on her after telling her for the last 30 years that she's next.

Assigned male at birth is the term you want to use. "Biological male" is a term used by transphobes to spread misinformation.

Biology is very complex and not your elementary school version of biology. What makes someone "biologically" male? Is it having a penis, having testis, having more testosterone than estrogen, having XY chromosomes? These can all be intermixed with other characteristics.

The "basic biology" definition doesn't work in the real world, and the people using it are actively trying to harm trans people or ignorant. Now you're more informed so ignorance isn't an excuse anymore.

Is there some republican legislation that makes gender affirming care impossible for a 63 year old?

Impossible is a strong word. But in places where gender affirming care isn't accessible, rather that's because insurance won't pay for it, or because states have passed legislation against it, or legislation to deny hospitals that they fund resources if they offer it, then the option becomes the black market.

What we call DIY HRT.
