Kelly joined radio host and The Blaze founder Glenn Beck to discuss the interview, expressing her disappointment with Trump&#8217;s\u200c answer and describing \u2062it as &#8220;weak sauce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really wish he did better on that.

And it&#8217;s pretty\u2062 obvious just as soon as you come out of the womb. That&#8217;s the way it&#8217;s always been. That&#8217;s the way it continues to be.

I think part of it is \u2064birth. Can the man give birth? No, no, although they&#8217;ll come up with some answer to that \u2063also someday. I heard just \u200bthe other day they have a way\u200d that now the man can give birth. No,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I&#8217;ll continue my stance on that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelly also asked Trump if \u2063he has &#8220;changed&#8221; since his previous statements about transgender issues. Trump acknowledged that he has changed his views, explaining that at the time, the topic was not\u2064 widely discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Trump \u200cthen \u2062highlighted his decision \u200dto ban \u200btrans-identifying individuals from serving in the military, a policy that was later reversed by President Joe Biden. He also expressed his strong opposition to allowing children to\u200b undergo hormone\u200c treatment and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/total-nightmare-biden-policy-redefining-sex-puts-doctors-at-risk-american-principles-project-president-says\/\" title=\"\u2018Total Nightmare\u2019: Biden Policy Redefining Sex Puts Doctors At Risk, American Principles Project President Says\">sex-change procedures<\/a>, referring to it as child &#8220;mutilation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so against it,&#8221; Trump stated. &#8220;First of all, many of them I heard like 62% \u200cwhen they grow up, when they&#8217;re older, they&#8217;re saying, &#8216;Who did this to me? Why did you do this to me?'&#8221;. He emphasized that parents should be \u200cthe ones making decisions regarding their children, not school\u200b boards.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly questioned whether Trump\u200d and his team are attempting to appease a certain group\u2064 of transgender voters as they aim to attract more Democratic voters for the\u200d 2024 election. She added \u200bthat avoiding a direct stance\u200b on this issue is not a\u200d winning strategy for any Republican, considering that 98% of \u2063the party is \u2063united on this matter.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did\u200d Kelly feel about \u200cTrump&#8217;s response \u2062on \u200btransgenderism and why?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  W with Trump: \u200d&#8221;I really wish \u200dhe did better on that. I \u2062liked Ron DeSantis&#8217; answer, which is &#8216;No, no, no, no.\u2064 Obviously, no.&#8217; And it&#8217;s not determined based on\u2063 who can \u200cgive birth. \u200dIt&#8217;s determined \u200dby God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kelly&#8217;s critique \u200cstems from\u2064 her belief that gender identity\u200b is determined \u2062solely\u2064 by biological sex, \u2062citing DeSantis&#8217; response as a preferable and straightforward approach. She\u200b argues that one&#8217;s \u200dgender is obvious \u200cat birth and remains consistent throughout life,\u200d unaffected by societal\u200b or cultural influences.<\/p>\n<p>This controversy arose after Kelly\u2063 interviewed Trump for the first time in seven\u2062 years. During the interview, she asked the former president \u2064about his views on transgenderism\u2062 and specifically questioned whether transgender women \u200cshould be\u2062 able to compete in\u2064 women&#8217;s\u200c sports. Trump&#8217;s\u200b response was deemed vague and unsatisfactory by\u2064 Kelly, leading to her public criticism \u200dof his \u2062stance.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that this is not\u2064 the first time Kelly has expressed her concerns about transgender issues. In 2015, during her tenure at Fox News, she famously clashed with\u2063 then-candidate Trump \u2064when she asked him \u200babout his past derogatory comments towards\u2063 women. Despite this\u200d history,\u200b Kelly&#8217;s disappointment with\u2063 Trump&#8217;s response this time around highlights her\u2064 commitment\u2064 to \u2062fair and probing journalism.<\/p>\n<p>While Kelly&#8217;s \u2064perspective may align with the conservative viewpoint\u200b that gender \u2064is binary and determined\u2063 by biological sex, it is crucial to acknowledge the complexity of transgender issues. The transgender \u200dcommunity faces \u200bnumerous \u200cchallenges, including \u200bdiscrimination, lack of acceptance, \u2064and obstacles to accessing healthcare. Many argue that \u200cgender identity \u2064is a deeply personal and individual experience that may not \u200dalign\u200b with one&#8217;s assigned sex at\u200c birth.<\/p>\n<p>Transgender rights and inclusion have become \u200bhighly debated topics in recent years, with ongoing discussions about bathroom\u200d access, sports participation, and medical\u2064 interventions for transgender \u200dyouth. It is essential to\u200b approach these\u2062 discussions with empathy, respect,\u200c and an understanding of the unique experiences of \u2064transgender individuals.<\/p>\n<p>As the conversation surrounding transgender \u200drights continues to evolve, it is crucial for public figures like Kelly and Trump to engage \u2063in\u2063 thoughtful and informed\u200c discussions \u2062on the topic. Constructive \u200ddialogues that challenge \u2063preconceived notions \u200band promote understanding are crucial \u2064for the development of \u200binclusive and equitable societies.<\/p>\n<p>While Megyn \u200dKelly&#8217;s critique of Trump&#8217;s \u2062response on transgenderism has sparked controversy, it also serves as a reminder \u2063of the ongoing need for open and respectful conversations \u200dabout gender identity and transgender rights. It\u2063 is \u2063through such dialogues that we can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brookings-institution-boosts-china-initiatives-linked-to-board-member\/\" title=\"Brookings Institution Boosts China Initiatives Linked to Board Member\">foster greater understanding<\/a> and acceptance of diverse experiences within our societies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservative podcast host Megyn Kelly expressed disappointment with Donald Trump&#8217;s response on transgenderism during their recent interview.
