Whoopi on Trump Reversing Trans Protections: ‘Isn’t It Hard Enough To Be in High School?’

Whoopi Goldberg Slams Trump For Reversing Protections For Trans Kids: ‘Isn’t It Hard Enough to Be in High School?’ (Mediaite)

Yesterday, the Donald Trump administration rolled back Barack Obama‘s protections for trans kids, rescinding guidance that instructed schools to allow children to use the bathroom that most closely matches their gender identity. Today on The View, the ladies took the subject on head-first, making some bold proclamations along the way.

Whoopi Goldberg asked, “What’s the message to transgender Americans and to transgender kids? Isn’t it hard enough to be in high school or in grammar school identifying in a different way than other people see you?”

Sara Haines pointed out that though many of the opponents of bathroom inclusivity are worried about “safety,” but statistics show that trans kids are the ones in most danger from others.
