Bill Maher Urges Democrats To Drop Support For Trans Agenda

Bill Maher, the host of HBO’s “Real Time,” said during an interview late last week that Democrats need to drop their support for the transgender movement if they want to start winning again.

Maher made the remarks on the leftist podcast “Pod Save America” with former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett.

“The Democratic position in [California] has been that the school has the right to hide it from the parents,” Maher said. “That is not something that’s going to go well with the average voter.”

He said that in far-Left parts of America, schools “constantly had this idea in the minds of children that maybe you’re not in the right body.”

“I mean, the New England Journal of Medicine advocated for taking sex off of a birth certificate,” he said. “It was like, ‘your assigned sex at birth.’ Well I was assigned it by my dick, okay, when I was born. And again, to tell kids, it doesn’t always have to be and isn’t always the default setting, but that’s a different mentality than they put in the minds of kids, and that’s why this debate goes on.”

He said that people were fed up with being told that they were bigots if they wanted to even debate the topic.

“And the fact that you think, or a lot of people on the Left think, that even if you just have this debate, it makes you a bigot, you just have to roll over … that was their position,” he said. “If you even question this, you’re some sort of a bigot. And this is new science. And it has to do with children. And it’s not going to look good in the future, that position.”
