A trans activist group blasted the Media Research Center’s (MRC) video objecting to California’s new trans-inclusive legislation in an interview with The Raw Story on Monday.

“That video is just a hateful embarassment,” National Center for Transgender Equality executive director Mara Keisling said. “[The people at MRC] know that there are real trans people. They know we’re not talking about boys who want to pretend that they’re girls or girls who want to pretend they’re boys. They know we’re talking about people who have a gender identity that want to safely use the restroom in a way that is least disruptive.”

As MediaMatters reported on Monday, the video by the MRC, a conservative group, shows reporter Dan Joseph approaching a woman outside a womens’ locker room and identifying himself as “a transgender.”

“That means I have the man parts but inside I feel more like a woman,” Joseph tells the woman. “I was just wondering, is it okay if I go in there with you in there and change and shower and stuff? Just because I don’t really feel, like, comfortable in the men’s area. It’s just weird. Is that okay with you?” The woman’s response is not shown.

I wonder how many people told him that who weren't shown in this clip.
