Trump's new nominee for FDA commissioner has called abortion "corrosive" to women and called completely safe and routine medication abortion "dangerous." Someone who is anti-science and anti-reproductive health should not lead the FDA.

Trump Nominates Heidi Overton, a Top Domestic Policy Aide, for F.D.A. Commissioner

Dr. Overton is a fierce opponent of abortion rights and a supporter of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.

"I need those in the middle of the road to understand something. The ppl leading this charge don’t want to protect girls in sport. They want trans people to be gone & they never will get what they want because trans people always have existed...There’s no point placating a campaign founded on hate."

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends

Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.
