Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., targeted the trans community in his convention speech, saying 'These liberal senators want boys in girls sports.' He adds that he is the father of two daughters, and that liberals want 'men in your daughter's and my daughter's locker room.
In the first major speech of the opening night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Sen. Ron Johnson, speaking in his home state, said Democrats’ “fringe agenda includes biological males competing against girls and the sexualization and indoctrination of our children,” a reference to trans athletes and what he sees as liberal support for trans children. Later that evening, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was even more explicit.
The party that met in Milwaukee this week is largely unpopular and has few legislative ideas or successes. But it has had success with its anti-trans agenda. Hundreds of transphobic and punitive anti-trans laws have been put on the books throughout red states in the Deep South and Mountain West over the last four years. It’s not surprising, then, that when putting on a national show to tell voters the story of the 2024 Republican Party, transphobia would lead.
