Nikki Haley Falsely Connects Trans Athletes to Girls' Suicide - Yet Again [View all]

...“There’s a lot of things. I mean, you want to start with biological boys playing in girl sports. That’s one thing,” Haley said. “The fact that we have gender pronoun classes in the military now, I mean, all of these things that are pushing what a small minority want on the majority of Americans, it’s too much. It’s too much.”

According to Haley, “The women’s issue of our time” is “the idea that we have biological boys playing in girls’ sports.”

“My daughter ran track in high school. I don’t even know how I would have that conversation with her,” she noted. “How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker rooms? And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year. We should be growing strong girls, confident girls.”

Haley was referring to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from February that found one out of three girls in the U.S. have seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.
