Nikki Haley is basically Mike Pence in drag. She's a hollow soul who would say anything she thought GOP base voters want to hear. Her time in Trump's administration, acting as a Trump sycophant, disqualifies her. Her embrace of the right-wing 'culture wars' marks her as without substance.

Haley actually said keeping trans boys out of girl's sports was the greatest women's rights issue of our time. I imagine the vast majority of American women would disagree. I'd wager they would tell Ms. Haley having Republicans take away their right to control their reproductive healthcare choices is a great deal more important than that manufactured 'cause'...

CLAIM: Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley “changed” her name for political reasons.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The former United Nations ambassador has long used her legal middle name, Nikki. She was given the name Nimarata Nikki Randhawa at birth. Haley is her married name.

THE FACTS: Haley announced her run for president last week, making the former South Carolina governor the first major challenger to former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.

In the days following her announcement, social media users amplified a long-circulating falsehood that Haley “changed” her name in order to appeal to Republican voters. “Nikki Haley changed her name from Nimrata Randhawa because racism doesn’t exist in the GOP,” reads one popular meme shared on Twitter and TikTok.

Other posts claimed that Nimarata Randhawa was her “real name,” suggesting Nikki Haley was not.

But while Haley’s legal first name is indeed Nimarata, sometimes spelled as Nimrata, her middle name is Nikki — a name that her family called her growing up and that means “little one” in Punjabi, as The Associated Press has reported.


Maverick Chamberlin -- And now for news from the reality-based world:

"Of the estimated 332 million citizens living in the United States, 1.3 million adults and 300,000 youth ages 13 to 17 identify as transgender, equaling half a percent and 1.4 percent of the population respectively, according to a report published by Williams Institute, a think tank at UCLA's Law School in 2022.

Not all transgender people identify as women, and an even smaller number consists of transgender women hoping to compete in girls' and women's sports.

Privacy laws make it tough to identify the exact number of transgender athletes competing in public school sports, but researcher and medical physicist Joanna Harper estimates the number can't exceed 100 nationwide.

'While we don't know the exact number of trans women competing in NCAA sports, I would be very surprised if there were more than 100 of them in the women's category,' Harper told Newsweek.

One hundred transgender athletes would comprise an incredibly small number of the U.S. population, and the number dwindles even further when it comes to middle school and high school athletes." - From the article.

So you see, the number of trans athletes you're so concerned about is so minuscule, you should be ashamed of even bringing it up...
