Jasmine Crockett Critiques GOP's Anti-Trans Focus at House Hearing

During a House subcommittee hearing focused on transgender athletes, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) introduced a game called "Trump or Trans" to highlight what she described as the Republican agenda of scapegoating transgender people for broader societal issues. Crockett questioned Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, about who was responsible for national problems such as cutting medical research, increasing the cost of living, and engaging in tariff wars, to which Goss Graves consistently answered "Trump." Crockett criticized the hearing, chaired by the anti-trans Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, as a distraction from real government inefficiencies and harmful policies. The hearing, titled "Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports," was marked by sharp partisan conflict and centered on debates over the inclusion of transgender athletes in female sports competitions. Crockett's approach was seen as a pointed rebuttal to Republican attempts to link trans individuals with the country's political and economic challenges. The Trump administration's policies targeting transgender rights, including executive orders and investigations into gender-affirming care, were also referenced in the discussion.
