Lesbian Congresswoman slams ex-Trump official for saying investment strategies turn kids transgender

I want to know: do you really believe that garbage?" she asked the ex-Trump official.

Out Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) slammed a former Trump administration official yesterday at a House Oversight Committee hearing after she claimed that certain investment strategies can turn kids transgender.

The hearing is one of many that the GOP-controlled House is conducting on conservative bogeymen, and it was entitled “ESG Part II: The Cascading Impacts of ESG Compliance.” “ESG” refers to environmental, social, and governance standards that investment firms sometimes use to take social responsibility into account in the context of corporate governance. The GOP has said that ESG standards are a nefarious attempt to “rewire the fabric of America” to promote “woke” policies.

...During the hearing, former Environmental Protection Agency official Mandy Gunasekara – who now works at the anti-LGBTQ+ Independent Women’s Forum – took Porter’s comments as a challenge and said that the purpose of ESG standards is “promoting gender transitions” in children.

I think I know where she pulled that conclusion from. The rear end of a bull.

Billionaires are going trans??

I mean what is Jeremy Grantham gonna do? He's well into his 80s, surely surgery's not an option. He could have avoided all this pain and conflict if he just wouldn't have used ESG investing strategies!
