By Alex Bollinger · Sunday, February 26, 2017
Tucker Carlson invited Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund executive director Jillian Weiss to talk about bathrooms, and he generally refused to listen to her.
Carlson appeared very concerned that he could simply decide that hes a woman and use the womens bathroom tomorrow, and Weiss explained that being transgender doesnt work that way. The idea that there is no objective factors to be considered in who is transgender and how we determine bathroom use is really not the way that this works. The fact is that people makes this decision after a lot of serious consideration, they see medical doctors, there is psychologists involved. Theres a lot to think about. Its not an easy process as someone whos gone through that I can tell you just dont decide tomorrow. Thats really not the way it works.
Carlson responded that he could claim to be a woman the tomorrow and that theres no way to tell if hes sincere, obviously not having listened to Weisss answer. He went on to claim that there is $11 billion in gender-specific federal programs. Carlson did not say where he got this statistic and what programs it was referring to, or even the period of time it covers (the federal budget is commonly described in both one-year periods and ten-year periods).
He continued to be snide, saying that since there isnt a single, common standard used to determine gender identity by every organization concerned with gender, that transgender rights should be put on hold.
