The following day, Chu commented on Republican legislative efforts affecting transgender youth. She wrote: “Here we go again. This week, Republicans continue their disgusting attacks on trans youth. While doing absolutely nothing to solve the cost-of-living crisis. As the proud Aunt of my trans nephew, Republicans’ “Don’t Say Trans” and Forced Outing bills are personal to my family.”
