WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.700 By the way, now protects the nebulous concept of gender identity 00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:08.500 defined in Title 18 as actual or perceived gender-related 00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:12.500 characteristics new gender identity laws allow a male people 00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:13.800 to claim Womanhood. 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.200 The violence against women act has become the violence against 00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.900 anybody act its original sex-based protections are now meaningless 00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:24.700 because men with gender identities who commit violence against 00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:26.800 women are protected by federal law. 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.100 Do you think it's a concern that? 00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:37.700 There are people that might be gaming the laws and pretending 00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:44.000 I guess that they are a woman in order to attack with an in 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.500 let's say a domestic violence shelter design for women. 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:59.400 Of course, we know that predatory men will do anything to gain 00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:00.800 access to victims. 00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:05.100 This is a legal disaster because predatory men are already 00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:08.600 taking advantage of gender identities legislation in order 00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:10.200 to gain access to women and girls. 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.900 I did talk to one of the big organizations in Arizona that I'm 00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:20.900 involved with that helps domestic violence victims and they 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:26.000 have said there has been a number of instances where they had 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.100 to deal with it where 00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:33.900 Man, I guess her pretending that they're wet their woman. 00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:42.700 I don't know if individuals are pretending they are of a different 00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.000 gender is deeply offensive. 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.900 Thank you sir. 00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:50.000 And maybe that's not the right word. 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.800 I actually talked to the people with the boots on the ground 00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:56.900 that have domestic violence shelters, and maybe that's not the 00:01:56.900 --> 00:02:00.600 right word and I didn't intend it to be offensive but people 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:04.200 that males who were 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.400 Identifying as a women were actually trying to find the women 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.200 in the domestic violence shelter. 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:13.900 Let's go ahead a series of questions that she was asking amiss 00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.200 Racine cicilline had said something about that. 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:20.000 He she used language regarding transgender that was offencive. 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:29.800 Could you it's actually inhumane to force women to share intimate 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.100 spaces with male people who call themselves women, 00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:36.400 so I don't see any problem with calling someone male or female 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.500 man or woman because these are words that refer to biological 00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:43.500 reality gender itself, you know, femininity and masculinity 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:44.700 that's not important. 00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:50.000 And like I said, we need to acknowledge biological sex doing 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.900 so is not inhumane people whose people who self-identify 00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:58.400 as transgender are human their people, right? 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.300 But that doesn't mean that I have to kowtow to their identity. 00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:04.900 I can still call someone who I die. 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.200 Size is a transgender woman a man because he is a man he's mail 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:14.900 a Title. Nine is basically moot now because men can be women. 00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:21.600 So just follow up on ISO if if a biological man identified 00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:25.600 as a woman to run in this track meet and then they can now 00:03:25.600 --> 00:03:29.800 qualify for those funds exactly the problem before I begin 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.100 my question. I want to set the record straight with some facts 00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:35.300 whether or not the minority Witness believe that transgender 00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:40.200 people exist. It is a fact they do and despite her efforts 00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:45.000 to decide the sexual orientation and gender identity of the entire 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.600 population of our country that is not her right in fact transgender 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:53.500 gender non-conforming and gender-fluid people are disproportionately 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:55.200 survivors of violence. 00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:58.600 They deserve to access Services consistent with their needs 00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:00.900 and I'd like to offer a few examples of the challenges 00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:04.600 that transgender Americans faced according to the US transgender 00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:08.500 survey would serve a nearly 28,000 transgender adults almost 00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:10.900 half of transgender individuals have been sexually assaulted 00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:13.900 in their lifetime Rights Campaign found at least a hundred 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:15.900 and twenty-eight transgender. 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:20.300 Have been killed since 2013.
