Transgender activists call for new strategy after Trump win and drop in public support

Transgender activists are calling for a change in strategy following Donald Trump's election victory and a decline in public support. They suggest moving away from confrontational tactics and avoiding vilifying critics to gain broader acceptance. Activists, including Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, emphasize the need to treat skeptics as potential allies. They believe that harsh language and policing of gender discussions have alienated supporters. Some lawmakers, like Rep. Seth Moulton, express concern over the movement's tactics, particularly regarding the inclusion of transgender athletes in sports. While advocating for transgender rights, they also highlight the need for balance and fairness in competitive settings.
