On Saturday, 20 of the 2020 presidential hopefuls participated in a forum on reproductive rights. Planned Parenthood hosted the forum, which took place at the University of South Carolina, and candidates discussed how they would support safe, accessible abortion if elected president.
The forum included a Q&A segment from the audience, and while there were many highlights, a question concerning trans inclusivity in reproductive health stands out. And, relative longshot Julián Castro gave a stand-out answer, too.
New York magazine correspondent Olivia Nuzzi tweeted out the exchange. Unsurprisingly, it went pretty viral on Twitter.
As of now, the audience member’s full name hasn’t been released, but they’ve been referred to as “Oluchi” by Renee Bracey Sherman, a fellow reproductive rights activist, on Twitter.
The audience member noted that they identify as non-binary before asking Castro their question.
