Nikki Haley Refuses to Say That a Man Can't Become a Woman

All she will commit to, weakly, is blocking those under 18 from surgeries. She will not say she would block those under 18 from being prescribed irreversible, sterilizing hormone blockers.

Haley was asked a very direct question by a caller who identified himself as "John" about men becoming women. She did not, however, offer a direct answer. Instead, Haley said people over the age of 18 "can live any way they want."

The question and fake answer:

HOST: And with that, let's go to our last question, John. John, you're live from Dubuque.
JOHN: Hi, Ambassador.
HALEY: Hi, John.
JOHN: A lot of the stuff that Trump does, you know, and says, really bothers me, and I'm concerned about it. You know, one thing I saw him do was, he said that, uh, he had trouble answering the question, could a man become a woman? And I'm just wondering what, what your response to that question is?
HALEY: Yeah, I mean, I think first of all, let's look at the facts. Again, I'm sorry that we didn't make it to Dubuque, and, and I hate that we're not there but I appreciate you coming on here.
Look, I mean, I have said, I want to start with Trump and then get to the question. You know, this is a hard truth on my part. I believe Trump was the right president at the right time. I agree with a lot of his policies. But rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. And everybody on this call knows that. And we can't be a country in disarray and a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos. We won't survive it. And I think a lot of that is how he communicates and what happens. It just sets us all in disarray, and we can't afford a President Kamala Harris.
Now, can a man become a woman. There's been a lot that's been talked about when it comes to all of these roles and all of these issues. I strongly believe that we should not allow any gender change surgeries to anyone before the age of 18. Period.

She's trying to sound tough here, while doing the absolute minimum.

We-- kids now can't get a tattoo until they're 18. We shouldn't have them permanently change their body until they're 18. And that includes puberty blockers, that includes any sort of hormones that would do that.
After the age of 18, we want to make sure people can live any way they want to live. I don't think government needs to be in control of anybody's life. You go live the way you want to live, you should be free to live the way you want to live, and every-- government and everybody else should stay out of your way.

But prior to 18, it is an important time, especially when you're going through your teenage years that can be confusing. I don't think we should ever in any way have any sort of permanent changes. But after 18, I'm not going to say anything. I think that, you know, you always have to believe in freedom and allowing people to live the life the way they want to live, and if that's how they choose then, you know, I don't think government should have any say in that.
Thank you for that question.

MegynKelly.com comments:

At no point did Haley actually address the question of biological males 'transitioning' to female and, presumably, the other queries that arise from that, including trans athletes' competition in women's sports, the use of women's locker rooms, etc.

In fairness, Nikki Haley's answer to this question is just Trump's rope-a-dope answer to this question, and people pretend that he's a warrior on the issue, so why not Nikki too?

The former South Carolina governor is not the first 2024 Republican candidate to make headlines for their position on this topic. Back in September, Megyn sought clarity from former President Donald Trump on where he stands on biological men in women's spaces and how he feels about gender reassignment hormones and surgeries for minors.
She also asked him directly: "Can a man become a woman?"
After a pause and chuckle, Trump offered this: "In my opinion, you have a man, you have a woman. I think part of it is birth. Can the man give birth? No, although they'll come up with some answer to that also someday. I heard just the other day, they have a way that now the man can give birth. No, I would say, I'll continue my stance on that."

Men will soon be able to give birth, Trump says, and that will settle the issue. I mean, if they can, hypoethetically, give birth, then they're women and should be allowed to compete in women's events and use women's bathrooms.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was asked the same question by Glenn Beck during a September sit down. "No, how ridiculous that we're even asking that question," he responded. "And you know, sometimes people will knock me because they'll say that he's talking about woke and you shouldn't worry about-- like, like people say, 'Who cares about it, right?' Look, society needs to be grounded in truth and if you're telling me a man can get pregnant and you're telling me a man can become a woman, that is not true and I'm not going to accept that as true. I'm not going to be complicit in a lie."

Trump has always been very, very liberal on this issue. He announced his leftwing take on the issue in 2016 stating that the state government of North Carolina should not block North Carolina cities and towns from mandating genderless bathrooms, stating that people should use "the bathroom they feel is appropriate." And he has not evolved since the first liberal take.

Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want, Donald Trump said Thursday.
"Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they're paying a big price. There's a lot of problems," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC's "Today."

Note there he also implicitly endorses the leftwing boycott of the state by Hollywood and liberal sports leagues. He seems to have continued this "bow to leftwing corporations" line with his refusal to endorse the Bud Light boycott, and his attacks against Noted Gobalist Corporatist Ron DeSanctimonious for standing up to Trump's big donor, Disney.

Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now," Trump said he agreed.
"Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth.
"There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate," Trump said. "There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic -- I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking."

The only "problem" with mandating that people use the bathrooms of their real sex is the "strife and economic... punishment" that the left uses to destroy conservative states and voters who dissent. Otherwise, "so little trouble"!

Anyone who thinks that the 71-year-old lifetime Hollywood liberal Trump is going to suddenly "evolve" on this issue is coping very hard.

Jeremy Boering said that some conservative people in Hollywood expressed an interest in funding his movies or even appearing in them, on one condition: They had to lay off the transgender issue completely. He said that it's a religious issue for them.

(I don't think it's a religious issue for the conservative types, I think he meant they were saying, "We just can't work with you if you cross the left's top religious issue.")

Good grief, Ace, what a dishonest comment.

He was clear, and if you don't know that, you're not paying attention. What he's saying, and I can't believe you don't know this, is that eventually the idiot scientists will make it possible for a male, with male organs and male parts, to give birth.

It's a silly comment, which may or may not be scientifically accurate, but he's not talking about gender benders.

Jeez.

26 I don't really care what consenting adults do on their own time...provided that it does not infringe on the rights of other people.

She's perfect for the GOP. Absolutely perfect. And, frankly, if Trump had just bent the knee early - and maybe ran for Senator, instead of insisting on stepping to the front of the line ? Then he probably would have been fine for the GOP as well.

For the GOP voters ? Meh, I don't know, because the lines have become so blurred with the influx of Trump Nationalists mixed with the typical "no more mean tweets, lets all be polite" GOP voter.

Yet, in a few months, we'll all play the same dumb game again, with people breathlessly anticipating slim GOP margins of victory in the House and Senate and maybe a Trump or DeSantis Presidency. And the same folks will be shocked - absolutely shocked - when the same old GOP moves get us more open borders, foreign adventures, and maybe another couple liberal judges.

Well, some will play. I'm all out of play.

"A new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released just one day before the Iowa caucuses found that 43 percent of Haley backers in the state said they would vote for Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee, while 23 percent say they would vote for the former president. Eight percent said they would vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy "

49 Jan. 31, 2023, NBC News
By Alex Seitz-Wald and Jo Yurcaba
Former President Donald Trump vowed in a video released Tuesday that, if he is re-elected, he will punish doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors and push schools to “promote positive education about the nuclear family” and “the roles of mothers and fathers” as part of a wide-ranging set of policies to use federal power to target transgender people.

In a straight-to-camera video posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he would task several federal agencies to police and ultimately “stop” gender-affirming care for minors, which he equated to “child abuse” and “child sexual mutilation.”

He said he would also prohibit any federal agency from working to “promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age," not just for minors.

The proposals are likely to be met with staunch opposition from LGBTQ rights advocates, who are fighting similar ideas across the country, calling them detrimental to trans people.

Gender-affirming care, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, “consists of an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services

It is helpful to view today's Left in religious terms. They are most definitely Evangelical. They most definitely are faithful.

69 In January 2017, Haley resigned as governor to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the administration of Donald Trump.[6] She was confirmed 96–4 by the U.S. Senate in a bipartisan vote. She stepped down as ambassador on December 31, 2018.[7] Wikipedia, in part.

Can't go with Haley now or ever; I see too little strength. (Appearances matter entirely too much to her.)

Who cares ? Sure, you care, I assume you still care about which party controls what House and such. I'm with Ace on this, my field of fucks is barren. I've purchased no seed.

It's not like, with a six seat majority in the Senate and a twenty seat majority in the House, and say Trump in the White House, that anything will change. We'll still get the same shitty "compromises" regarding immigration. We'll still have Trump railing on Twitter while he gets no recess appointments.

I, get this, don't feel any better when the GOP shivs me as a majority party rather than a minority party. I'm funny like that.

That vote went down 2:1 and she tore into the entire town for the rabid denial of her pet topic. One of the few wins in recent times.

Former President Donald Trump vowed in a video released Tuesday that, if he is re-elected, he will punish doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors and push schools to "promote positive education about the nuclear family" and "the roles of mothers and fathers" as part of a wide-ranging set of policies to use federal power to target transgender people.

He thinks people should use "whatever bathroom they feel is appropriate." That's what he actually believes

I believe Trump was the right president at the right time. I agree with a lot of his policies. But rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him.

See? This is why I could never vote for Nikki.

"Chaos follows him" is the new "violence at Trump's rallies" from 2016.

"Chaos' does not follow Trump.

Democrat opponents of Trump are so immature and so stupid that they can't behave like mature members of a Representative Republic with free elections, and instead-

throw tantrums and riot and commit arson and murder.

That is 100% on the Democrats, the WEF, BLM, antifa, and people like Soros, Schwab, Progtards, etc.

It has nothing to do with Trump, except-

if the violence starts again, Trump enforces the law strictly and these clowns go to prison or to the gallows for insurrection and treason.

"Chaos follows" is the simply excusing the violence and rioting of Libtards.

143 Trump has no game, no plan, no solid team. All he has is populist slogans , that all start with "I will ...". No, you won't. Because you did not when you had the presidency, Senate and House. And you could not make it work. He has no people. Why ? He has no loyalty to anyone. He is chucks anyone as soon as he is bored with them. So all he has are sycophants around him, who will bail anytime the check does not clear, or an indictment is issued, and that is about it.

I vacillate on this one. He's a prominent politician from a large state, that has been turned red from purple, that has a GOP mayor of its biggest town. He beat Disney, and every woke leftster who has come for him. He can see Trump's liabilities and figures why not. The ego of any of these folks is huge.

I think it was probably good experience, and he is still viable in 28, assuming Trump is the nominee this go round. And since the GOPe moved on to Nikki we can assume the big RINO money couldn't turn him. RDS will be fine.

146 Try again.

I believe Trump was the right president at the right time. I agree with a lot of his policies. But rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him.

See? This is why I could never vote for Nikki.

"Chaos follows him" is the new "violence at Trump's rallies" from 2016.

"Chaos' does not follow Trump.

Democrat opponents of Trump are so immature and so stupid that they can't behave like mature members of a Representative Republic with free elections, and instead-

throw tantrums and riot and commit arson and murder.

That is 100% on the Democrats, the WEF, BLM, antifa, and people like Soros, Schwab, Progtards, etc.

It has nothing to do with Trump, except-

if the violence starts again, Trump enforces the law strictly and these clowns go to prison or to the gallows for insurrection and treason.

"Chaos follows" is the simply excusing the violence and rioting of Libtards.

Go drink some more box wine, Nikki.

It's kind of baked in with him.

there's an inconsistency in pro-life trump supporters. This is not the same people saying two contradictory things, but different trump supporters saying contradictory things.

Some Trump supporters say that he's the strongest candidate on abortion.

Other Trump supporters say that DeSantis is "too extreme" and we need someone like Trump who can be more flexible.

Again, it's not the same people saying these things -- but both these things are claimed in favor of Trump. I wish the two types of Trump supporter would talk to each other and figure out if trump is, or is not, the strongest candidate on abortion.

1. No matter what any candidate may think on the trans issue, it not a federal matter. That's what they should say to any gotcha question. Some candidates are answering for primary voters, some are answering for general voters. It doesn't matter either way.
2. DeSantis is not going to be the nominee. Doesn't matter if he's better, or worse, or the same. He's not going to be the nominee.
3. Once you accept item 2, you have to decide how you're moving forward. Are you going to push as hard as you can for anyone but Trump? Will you tell people that they shouldn't vote? You should give this some thought.

Now I'm gonna skip election related threads for a while. I'll be back unless I get banned.

OTOH - being an insanely popular governor in a Southern state if things really did get dicey ? Not a bad place to be. Hell, they passed legislation - popular with both parties inside the state, to let him run for President while remaining governor. That's an incredibly strong position, relatively speaking. And I'm pretty sure he's pissed it away.

You don't understand the situation. North Carolina cities like Raleigh mandated that businesses make their bathrooms all-gender/genderless. The NC state government passed a law to stop this mandate.

Trump sided with the liberal cities who were mandating bathroom free-for-alls.

If he wanted to let states do what they wanted to do, he wouldn't have called for North Carolina to "leave it the way it is" (that is, with liberal cities imposing genderless bathroom mandates).

The sell-by date on this kind of thinking is way past. We lost the federalism debate decades ago. The only place it makes sense to make federalism arguments now is court, where you might occasionally win a narrow constitutional victory. But politics? Sorry, Leviathan is real. Preaching federalism in politics is like advocating unilateral nuclear disarmament. Everything is now the federal government's business. If you want that to change, you'll need to win a civil war.

245 DeSantis has sound policy positions. Has a legilatve record.
Had donor funding. Why couldn't he get any traction in a national campaign.

My theory ? Because a national campaign has to deal with four cultures. West Coast, North East, South East, and Mid West. Different things resonate with each.

Anything folks here, including me at some spots, like will simply not resonate with the West Coast and North East. And DeSantis is too blunt to appeal to the Mid West bland. Haley will perform her best in the Mid West. De Santis will perform his best in the South.

Trump does well in the South because of his populist nationalism, and largely as a middle finger to the establishment. It has, as far as I can tell, very little to do with what he ever says or does. Because what he says is largely incoherent and what he does is as subject to spin as the record of Lincoln. Trump is, in many ways, the Right's Obama. He is what the individual wishes him to be. Regardless of what he says. Regardless of what he does. He's a reaction.

The Trump spotlight falls on whoever is in front of him, and in turns (so far) that's been Rondee and now Vivek.

Neither of whom are going to stick around much longer (Vivek might, but only if he wants to waste his own money), and then it'll be Nikki's turn.

We'll see who gets their feelings hurt when that happens.

A lot of times it will be printed on there.

I am assuming that you don't have a matched set for the Door and the Dead-bolt. Or, you would not be missing the key.

323 I subscribe to the "throw-away election" concept.

The "election" in November is a throw-away as far as the GOP is concerned. And for Trump, the rank and file GOP, McConnell's GOP, the donor's GOP isn't going to put him on their ballot. In my opinion that's set.

Nikki Haley probably isn't the candidate the movers and shakers want. In fact the replacement for *biden, if there is one has probably already been tapped to assume the White House. Whether that's Harris, some dark horse or even Haley is debatable. But it'll be more of what we have today. Just in a different suit.

All the GOP hand wringing over DeSantis vs. Trump vs. Haley is mental masturbation. Whoever gets the GOP nod is throwing away their political career.

So my field of fucks about 2024 is as barren as it gets.

Very true. And hard as it might be for some to believe there are a huge number of people in the US who actually liked the way things were going under Trump. Inflation was non-existent, tax cut, the border was as secure as its ever been, gas was cheap, the economy was good, no new wars, peace deals in the Middle East, China in a box and on and on.

It isn't childish if it's true. There are plenty of Trump supporters who aren't cultists, and I've said that repeatedly, but apparently not often enough. But there are also many of them who are, and they're usually the ones calling anyone but a Trump supporter a dupe, a RINO, a sellout, etc. etc. Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.

Take the lockset off the door (you can leave the 'bolt' portion in place, since it's unlocked) and take the cylinder portion-- the portion that the key goes into-- to a locksmith shop.

IF your doorknob is the same brand *and* keyway, you could even have the deadbolt rekeyed to match it. (Locksmith can look at your doorknob key & tell you whether it's possible)

Shouldn't cost too much. Certainly less than a new lockset.

Point of order:

They weren't allowed to raise enough Hell.

There are legal motions filed to speed things up so that cases are heard in a "timely" manner (I'm not a lawyer but that's the term IIRC). The judges refused to honor them. The slow-rolled them on purpose so it would be too late.

Our elections are like a game at the fair, and if you manage to hit the first ring toss they give you a smaller ring that doesn't around the neck of the bottle for your next throw.

There's no way to counter that.

The ski report model has turned away from day passes to season passes and the multi-resort passes like Ikon and Mountain Collective. The ski industry has adopted the gym-membership model of pimping heavily discounted "membership" passes in the hopes that the buyer ends up not using them. These passes are actually great deals if -- but only if -- you ski a lot. But I agree, it sucks for most people who are only going to ski a few times a year.

Also losing to my poodle probably.

365 There are legal motions filed to speed things up so that cases are heard in a "timely" manner (I'm not a lawyer but that's the term IIRC). The judges refused to honor them. The slow-rolled them on purpose so it would be too late.

Our elections are like a game at the fair, and if you manage to hit the first ring toss they give you a smaller ring that doesn't around the neck of the bottle for your next throw.

There's no way to counter that.

The little nimrods who were running her campaign, on election night, were saying "we got this.

They didn't got it. They were caught on their heels, just like the Trump campaign, and just like those people, they should have known. The fact they didn't doesn't speak well of their future efforts, if all they're doing now is making excuses.

Yeah. With all due "respect" to JackStraw ? No, she certainly DID NOT start complaining about fraud right away.

She went in front of the cameras and declared that once the uncounted ballots were counted, she expected to win, based upon precincts and anticipated turnout.

There was a lot of smugness coming out of her campaign. They acted like they were smarter than their opponents, and that they'd secured the win with superior efforts.

Until they didn't.

369 >>Yeah. With all due "respect" to JackStraw ? No, she certainly DID NOT start complaining about fraud right away.

Yea, she did. On Election Day. As soon as it was reported that a very large number of electronic voting machines were not printing.

The bottom line which started with Bush v Gore is that it is nearly impossible to overturn an election in the courts.

Kennedy name has no value? Some guy with the last name of 'Anderson' got around 8% of the vote in 1980, shoving Jimmah Carter into the waste heap of history.

History repeats, oh yes it does.

372 201 DeSantis has sound policy positions. Has a legilatve record. Had donor funding. Why couldn't he get any traction in a national campaign.

My personal favorite. Absolutely, with the legislative record.

But, “It’s all about connection,” Sununu told reporters Tuesday. “She’s bringing her truth to it, at a very real level — as a wife, as a mother, as a former governor, as someone who sat in the UN, when international issues are threatening American security every single day.”

All within the article, "What Sununu's support could mean for Haley's 2024 primary campaign — and his own future." (Updated Dec. 13, 2023.)

"Sununu’s endorsement, which follows another high-profile boost from the Charles Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Action, could position Haley to capitalize — or rebound — regardless of where she places in Iowa.

Sununu could also help Haley among a particularly critical bloc of New Hampshire voters: independents, who due to the lack of a high-profile Democratic primary are expected to gravitate toward the Republican contest instead."

Well, unless I get called to the big sleep, I'm figuring I will see something one way or the other.

I take your comment to mean we are fucked and its over regardless. My reading of history says we aren't over. And you can read about all sorts of crazy times where we screwed up and somehow managed to overcome. I also realize history sometimes says you disappear, poof. But for that to happen, there must be a credible threat to do so. Who would that be? If the internal commies would take over, how long could they last? Not very long. It's all theater, but when the money gets tight, as it is now, it starts sorting everything out.

375 I find it amusing to hear idiots speaking of "roles" to define a fact. There is what you are. Vs what you feel like. Reality vs delusion...
Yes. It is that simple.

376 Trump did more than that. In one of his big 2015 stump speeches he thundered about being the president of trannies, and how they'd be protected in his administration.

Trump, the first Tranny President.

Refuse to vote above state level.

377 Despite his squishyness Trump booted transgenders out of the military and had Betsy DeVos rescind the letter that forced university's hand on this, reportedly against DeVos's wishes.
