“Gender Madness”

JD Vance reiterated the Republican Party’s anti-trans rhetoric, arguing that what he called “gender madness” was “most common among upper-middle-class and lower-middle-class white progressives.”

He went on to say, “You might think this is a cultural trend that we should be questioning a lot more than we are now.

“If you’re a middle-class or upper-middle-class white parent and the only thing you care about is whether your kid gets into Harvard or Yale, obviously that path has become much more difficult for many of the upper-middle class. -class children.”

Describing transgender as a “social signifier,” the Ohio senator told Rogan, “But the only way these people can participate in the DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) bureaucracy in this country is to be trans. If you come out as trans, that’s a way of rejecting your white privilege.”

JD Vance believes that people change their entire identity and pretend to be trans to get a slight advantage in college admissions.

In previous interviews, Nelson has said that the Vance they knew is not the same as it was presented to the public in the campaign.

“I am devastated by the transformation they have decided to undergo… The JD I got to know in law school… was caring and compassionate. Obviously we didn’t share a common politics, but growing up in Wayland, Michigan, it was nothing new for me to develop friendships and respect across the political divide,” Nelson. he told the Detroit Free Press.

Trans journalist Erin Reed was one of many people to publicly condemn Vance’s remarks.
