Women's sports witness calls transgender-suicide male gaslighting

A congressional witness at Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on protecting women’s sports told Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) that the transgender lobby threatening women with claims of suicide, as justification for men to enter female-protected spaces, amounts to male gaslighting.

During opening remarks, Durbin cited a statistic from the pro-transgender Trevor Project claiming that LGBT youth are at higher risk of suicide as a result of “mistreatment and stigmatization.”
