I am just so happy to hear @JulianCastro ask Oluchi which pronouns to use and clearly talking about reproductive justice.

At a presidential candidate forum on reproductive rights at the University of South Carolina on Saturday, Castro is asked by an audience member about how he would expand sexual and reproductive health care access for transgender people. Before providing his answer, Castro asks what pronouns the activist prefers. Attendees and journalists reflect on the importance of this choice, noting that this signaled his attentiveness to changing norms around gender pronouns and respect for non-binary people. This demonstrates another element of changing gender dynamics in presidential elections, with Castro contributing to evolution in gender language and strategy.
