Edward Markey: “Trans rights are human rights and they must be protected…”

“Today, we say clear that enough of what is going on here in Massachusetts and in America and in Congress and across the street at the Supreme Court. We need to say it loud enough for every American to hear that Trans rights are human rights and they must be protected every single day of every single year. And we stand together in solidarity with the trans community and with those who fight for those rights and and with those who have too often been left behind by a system that refuses to recognize their humanity.” (05:19–05:27)
