Summary

75% Informative

President Donald Trump mentioned the transgender community half a dozen times during his address to Congress on Tuesday .

Trans people make up an estimated 1% of the U.S. population.

Trump said trans women are hurting other sports, referring to a case in which a trans woman finished a long-distance cycling race by five hours , beating a cisgender woman.

The case has been used by conservatives to lobby for state legislation supporting parents rights to information about how their children are identifying at school.

Five states have enacted legislation that would require school staff to notify parents if a student asks to use a different name or pronouns, critics call it "forced outing".
