U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advocated for transgender rights and the inclusion of trans women in women's sports during a rally for More Perfect University, a progressive campus organization. Ocasio-Cortez argued that compromising the rights of transgender people compromises the rights of every American citizen, stating she supports these rights because she is a "girl's girl."
Her remarks drew backlash from critics who claim that allowing trans athletes to compete in women's sports contradicts the interests of biological women.
In a separate political development, Hillary Clinton stated on her podcast that a Democratic Congress would seek to hold President Donald Trump, his administration, and his allies accountable through investigations.
