Former US president Donald Trump – clearly with nothing better to do – has once again attacked trans people at a hate-filled rally.

During a 90-minute speech at the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper, Wyoming, Trump read from the usual Trump script: attacking critical race theory, the 6 January attack and his, er, his thinning hair.

Trump failed to completely pack the venue as he spoke in support of Republican congressional hopeful Harriet Hageman, who is vying to unseat representative Liz Cheney.

But turning his attention to trans rights – again – he told a crowd of “Trump 2024”-touting supporters on Saturday (28 May) that teachers should not be allowed to “teach transgender”.

“We will defend parents’ rights,” he said, throwing some more red meat for the MAGA crowd. “No teacher should ever be allowed to teach transgender to our children without parental consent. Can you imagine?

The crowd applauded for more than 10 seconds. This is despite how many might have heard this line before – Trump has spent much of his free time post-presidency rattling on about trans people and educators teaching “far-left gender theories”.

The bizarre remark, made at a time when dozens of state legislatures are aggressively rolling back trans rights for no real reason other than hate, drew raised eyebrows on Twitter.

What am I missing…
How do you teach transgender to a child?
Is he inferring that the acknowledgment of the existence of the transgender is a promotion of it?
It doesn't matter as long as it scares people
