Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts has ignited controversy after defending his opposition to transgender athletes in women's sports. He argues that the Democratic Party's approach is leading them to lose elections, as many Americans share similar concerns. Moulton emphasizes the need for civil discourse and the importance of addressing contentious issues openly, warning that ignoring these discussions could harm the party's electoral standing and the rights of marginalized communities. His statements have drawn criticism from his own party and have led to Tufts University's distancing from him.
