Transgender issues: Where the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates stand

2020 presidential candidates are promising to address health care, criminal justice issues and other concerns for transgender people. Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Trans Equality Action Fund, joins CBSN with more about the issues that impact the community most.

No one cares @DNC. Get your priorities together.

There are people that don't have access to proper food, education or housing in this country.

Great conversation but as a whole the trans community needs to be better and treated better as well. We need jobs, and education, and to know that we are safe and matter too. They take out taxes the same for those they can, and treat us as bad as everyone else so why cant we be people and have the right to be here too?

trans rights = human rights
thems the rules, i didn't make 'em

[TheAnimeist]

Weak. No solution offered. Nor were the murderers mentioned, as to who they are. Perhaps looking at the murderers may find the ones responsible. Derp!

How can I get my concerns to the presidential candidates for 2020?

Transformer the White House?

I’m either going with Trump or sitting this one out. Dems are on some BS

Transgender sounds like a good description for a sex change process...but then just be a man or a woman then you can use the bathroom without confusion

I'm not even gonna read the comments

Oooo they can't go off the fight and die, how tragic. There are many practical reasons why it's problematic to send trans people off to war. If you need regular hormone injections and end up being caught behind enemy lines and can't get your injections, you're a liability to the team. Every soldier needs to be combat ready in case the need does arise. However, if you don't take hormones injections and can meet the physical requirements then there's no reason they shouldn't be allowed in.

Like an older Tina from Bob's Burgers

Sounds like they're riding black struggle coatail

[GreatGrannyFreeBird]

I'm gonna call this one "stupid news". Please #CBS. just report some real news.

I heard that they are suppose to improve the legislation on same sex marriage. I have been researching different tidbits like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was written by Mrs. Eleanor Rosevelt and she purposed it to the United Nations in 1948 and the United Nations formed the United Nations Human Rights Council. I know that the duty of the United Nations is to enforce human rights and humanitarian law.

Women do technically have more legal rights than men ... so, men becoming "women" isn't such a bad idea.

[redone]

Cory is a he she just can't dress the part.

[luisnegron]

If u get the transgender vote u don't need any other voters to become president 😂 vote for Michelle Obama

Let’s talk about School scholarships going to transgender‘s versus women that are biologically born with that DNA these women in school as a senior look forward to being scouted and transgender‘s are being picked over original women oh jeez that needs to be addressed other than that trying to just have all should have all the rights as anyone else just to score a scholarship sports need to be looked at before the original DNA woman gets put back to the 1920s
