White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke out on Thursday about the recent wave of so-called “anti-trans bills” being introduced in state legislatures across the country. These bills are actually designed to prevent children from being given irreversible surgeries that remove vital glands, or from receiving puberty blockers and hormones which can often have irreversible effects.

She condemned these bills for targeting so-called transgender children and parents, calling them “shameful” and “unacceptable.

“So look, first of all, we support peaceful protest. We think it’s important for Americans and people just across the country to make their voices heard, just as long as it’s peaceful. And we’ve been very clear about these anti-LGBTQ bills that we’re seeing in state legislators, legislatures across the country, in particular, these anti-trans bills as they attack trans kids as they attack trans parents.

“It is it is shameful. And it is unacceptable. As you mentioned, tomorrow’s trans visibility day on a day that we should be lifting up our trans kids or trans youth and making sure that they feel seen, we’re seeing more and more of these hateful, hateful bills. And that’s what Republicans want to spend their time on. They don’t want to talk about lowering costs.

Peter Doocy asks the WH press sec whether the WH agrees it doesn't sound good that everyone could die if there isn't a pause on development, and whether Biden is worried that AI could become self-aware:

“They don’t want to talk about actually making Americans’ lives better. They want to take away people’s freedoms. And one of the things that we saw during the midterm elections is that people don’t want their freedoms to be taken. They want us to fight for their freedoms. And so it is shameful. It is disturbing. And our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now. But this is a president who has said many times before he has their backs. He will continue to have their backs and he will continue to fight for them. And his record shows that you,” she concluded.
