Chris Hayes Urges Dems to Double Down on Transitioning Children

HAYES I think that ░░░░░░░░ don t think there ░░░░░░░░ anyone who hasn t ░░░░░░░░ a moment across the ░░░░░░░░ spectrum of some form ░░░░░░░░ progressive communication that s ░░░░░░░░ left them bewildered or ░░░░░░░░ little like Eh I ░░░░░░░░ t know about that ░░░░░░░░ I also think at ░░░░░░░░ same time there is ░░░░░░░░ message of what I ░░░░░░░░ like call commonsense patriotic ░░░░░░░░ that is a majority ░░░░░░░░ which is like if ░░░░░░░░ father and mother have ░░░░░░░░ care for their kid ░░░░░░░░ up who is trans ░░░░░░░░ stay the f k ░░░░░░░░ of their business Like ░░░░░░░░ let them make that ░░░░░░░░ That s their decision ░░░░░░░░ make You don t ░░░░░░░░ to make that for ░░░░░░░░ family I m not ░░░░░░░░ to tell you what ░░░░░░░░ do with your family ░░░░░░░░ Well I mean but ░░░░░░░░ argument is whether the ░░░░░░░░ should make the decision ░░░░░░░░ But the child is ░░░░░░░░ making the decision The ░░░░░░░░ are always making the ░░░░░░░░ Parents consent to medical ░░░░░░░░ MAHER Well here in ░░░░░░░░ you re allowed to ░░░░░░░░ it from the parents ░░░░░░░░ the kid HAYES Yes ░░░░░░░░ MAHER Thank you one ░░░░░░░░ who knows that Somebody ░░░░░░░░ that is the case ░░░░░░░░ HAYES I think in ░░░░░░░░ vast majority we ve ░░░░░░░░ hearing from parents right ░░░░░░░░ whose kid s medical ░░░░░░░░ has been interrupted I ░░░░░░░░ there s a way ░░░░░░░░ talk about MAHER Well ░░░░░░░░ course they would say ░░░░░░░░ s not medical care ░░░░░░░░ Sure that is what ░░░░░░░░ are saying MAHER They ░░░░░░░░ say it s disfiguring ░░░░░░░░ child HAYES I think ░░░░░░░░ should mind their own ░░░░░░░░ I really do I ░░░░░░░░ they should mind their ░░░░░░░░ business And I think ░░░░░░░░ s true about a ░░░░░░░░ of things I think ░░░░░░░░ is this sense in ░░░░░░░░ there was this sort ░░░░░░░░ backlash politics some of ░░░░░░░░ I understood some of ░░░░░░░░ people I knew felt ░░░░░░░░ way I don t ░░░░░░░░ what the people wanted ░░░░░░░░ for the women CIA ░░░░░░░░ at the CIA to ░░░░░░░░ told that they couldn ░░░░░░░░ get together once a ░░░░░░░░ to like celebrate former ░░░░░░░░ s spies I think ░░░░░░░░ fundamental parts of what ░░░░░░░░ call in this country ░░░░░░░░ traditions of pluralism which ░░░░░░░░ what this country is ░░░░░░░░ pluralism is another word ░░░░░░░░ diversity if we re ░░░░░░░░ going to use that ░░░░░░░░ let s use pluralism ░░░░░░░░ fundamentally there is a ░░░░░░░░ that understands that like ░░░░░░░░ all come from different ░░░░░░░░ and part of what ░░░░░░░░ this country work is ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge and we negotiate ░░░░░░░░ differences and that s ░░░░░░░░ thing that I think ░░░░░░░░ can win back a ░░░░░░░░ of messaging.”
