'Eradicating Transness:' ACLU's Chase Strangio on GOP's Assault on LGBTQ Rights at CPAC and Nationwide

This clip is from the March 6, 2023 broadcast.

At least 150 bills have been filed by Republican lawmakers across the United States that target transgender people, with at least seven states enacting bans on gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. Other bills have targeted drag performers, doctors and trans adults seeking transition-related care. For more on growing conservative attacks on transgender people and the LGBTQ+ community, "Democracy Now!" speaks to Chase Strangio, deputy director for trans justice with the ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project, who says the backlash "at its core has always been about pushing trans people out of public life and eradicating transness."
