The Democratic incumbent for Florida’s 14th Congressional District, Rep. Kathy Castor, was all smiles last week as she threw transgender Americans under the bus.

At a candidate forum at the Tampa Tiger Bay Club—a nonpartisan organization that hosts political programming such as this—the group’s Republican treasurer, Art Wood, took aim at trans people with the very first question of the event.

“What is your position on men, biological men, in women’s sports?” he asked, invoking a common pejorative used to describe transgender women and girls. “Are you for it or against it?”

“The answer is no,” Castor said, grinning and laughing. She did not elaborate.
