Reply to comment by [deleted] in Exclusive: Ayanna Pressley on Introducing Bill to Advance Trans Rights by wdcmsnbcgay
She can't directly affect any of those things, so that's irrelevant. My question is why she's focusing on this as a trans issue, or why outlets are, when this has been happening for as long as married women have been changing their name, and other people have decided for different names for other reasons, for a long, long time. I'd say thousands of years, but it depends where, and credit bureaus have only been around so long.

She’s a US congresswoman. She has a direct effect and a sat on all of those things.

It's one thing to be critical of this piece. It's another to then be outraged at the wrong things.

Why not? Honestly, could she not introduce bills on those issues too?
