The latest updates to the game have changed the HUD around somewhat. “Nikki Haley suggesting that 1/3 of American teenage girls are contemplating suicide because of the existence of trans people is an unserious, untrue, and hateful thing to say,” he tweeted.Some players prefer different meters and tools to be available in the game's HUD. Let’s also be clear that the suicide rate for trans youth is sky high – they need support, not blame from a politician seeking the presidency.”Ĭhasten Buttigieg, the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, said on Twitter that for Haley, transgender youths are “just punchlines.” Heather O’Beirne Kelly, a clinical psychologist and former House Veterans’ Affairs Committee staffer, tweeted: “Nikki Haley’s suggestion that trans youth are responsible for girls’ elevated suicide risks is disgusting. Haley’s comments were met with criticism from mental health experts, LGBTQ advocates and progressives, who said there is no evidence of a link between the presence of transgender youths and teen suicide. “But stop pushing your views on everybody else.” “I want everybody to live the way they want to live,” she said. They don’t deserve that and they don’t need that either,” Haley said. But don’t go and cause all these other kids to feel like the pressures on them. Let’s get them the help, the therapy, whatever they need so that they can feel better and not be suicidal. Haley said she opposed a North Carolina-style “bathroom bill” that would have regulated which restrooms transgender students could use when she was South Carolina governor, because in her view, accommodations needed to be worked out individually between students and principals.
Tapper asked Haley if there was room for the humanity of transgender youths in the debate. However, that study made no connection between suicidal ideation and the existence of transgender youths or their participation on sports teams.Ī CDC report published in April found that LGBTQ students were more likely to have seriously considered, planned and attempted suicide than heterosexual students. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in February released an alarming report that found nearly 1 in 3 teen girls seriously considered attempting suicide in 2021, and that 3 in 5 teen girls “felt persistently sad or hopeless” – double the rate found among boys. On the campaign trail, she has previously misgendered Dylan Mulvaney, the transgender influencer whose promotional partnership with Bud Light ignited conservative boycotts, describing her as “a guy, dressed up like a girl, making fun of women.” Haley’s remarks come amid a conservative push to punish businesses for acknowledging and working with transgender figures. “All of these things that are pushing what a small minority want on a majority of Americans?” she said.
Haley also complained that “we have gender pronoun classes in the military now.” “We should be growing strong girls confident girls.”
“How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker room? And then they wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year,” Haley said. She said she didn’t know how she would have had a conversation about the presence of transgender girls on a high school team with her daughter, who ran track in high school. “The idea that we have biological boys playing in girls’ sports – it is the women’s issue of our time,” Haley said. The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador’s comments came when moderator Jake Tapper asked her to define “woke.” Nikki Haley, the 2024 Republican presidential contender, linked the presence of transgender girls in sports to suicidal ideation among teenage girls in a CNN town hall Sunday night in Iowa.
