As congressional Republicans prepare for the pre-midterm summer recess, they have been tasked with highlighting an issue of critical importance ahead of the November midterm elections: keeping transgender kids out of sports.
In the official “field guide” communications kit released to members of the conference by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Republicans are encouraged to speak with “with female athletes in your community who have had to compete against biological males,” conversations that are emphasized as a major plank in helping the party win control of Congress.
“Republicans will put kids’ futures first and give parents a voice,” the field guide states, encouraging Republicans to promise that they will “ensure that only those born female can participate in girls’ school sports.”
