Vice president Kamala Harris' 2019 video backing taxpayer-funded gender transition

reposted it saying, "It’s literally on video on the Internet." The old videos resurfaced after former President Donald Trump slammed Harris for her support of free medical care for transgenders.
In the video which 'End Wokeness' shared, Harris was saying, "That they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners.
For prisoners. And there was a specific case. And when I learned about the case, I worked behind the scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got the services she was deserving. So it wasn't only about that case."
During Tuesday's presidential debate, Harris and Trump were asked whether they will use their executive authority to ensure that transgender and nonbinary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention — will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.
Harris said "Yes! it is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition.”
Responding, Trump said, “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. This is a radical left liberal that would do this.”
During a town hall event in April 2019 Harris had suggested adding a 'third gender' to federal identification cards. “I have my entire life and career been an ally and I see the issue of
LGBTQ
rights as a fundamental civil rights and human rights issue, period,” Harris had said.
