Vance’s Former Friend Calls Trans College Admission Comments ‘Outrageous’

JD Vance's Former Friend Condemns Trans College Admission Comments

JD Vance, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, has come under fire for his comments about transgender people and college admissions. In a recent interview, Vance said that he believes that transgender women should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports and that they should not be given preferential treatment in college admissions.

Vance's Comments Draw Criticism

Vance’s comments have been widely criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates and allies. Many have called his remarks “outrageous” and “discriminatory.” They argue that Vance’s comments are based on ignorance and prejudice and that they perpetuate harmful stereotypes about transgender people.

Vance’s former friend, Alex Mickelwait, has also spoken out against Vance’s comments. Mickelwait, who is transgender, said that Vance’s remarks are “deeply offensive” and that they “show a complete lack of understanding of the transgender experience.”

Vance Defends His Comments

Vance has defended his comments, saying that he believes that he is simply standing up for women’s rights. He has also said that he believes that transgender people are “confused” and that they need to be “protected” from themselves.

Vance’s comments have been met with widespread condemnation, and it remains to be seen whether they will hurt his chances in the upcoming election.
