Overview

• In a July 21 SiriusXM interview with Megyn Kelly, Emanuel said a man cannot become a woman, diverging from most Democrats.
• He declared that biological males should not compete in women’s sports or be housed in female prisons.
• He stated that minors are too young to decide on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones without parental involvement.
• Those stances align with Trump-era executive orders defining sex as binary and curbing gender-affirming care.
