In a 2019 interview, then U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) told a transgender interviewer about how she worked to rewrite California Department of Corrections policies to allow transgender inmates to receive "gender affirming care."

"With the power that I had, I used it in a way that was about pushing forward the movement, frankly, and the agenda," Harris said. "When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California Department of Corrections, that they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners."

"And there was a specific case, and when I learned about the case, I worked behind the scenes not only to make sure that transgender woman got the services she was deserving, I made sure they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired and need," she said. 

57-year-old Shiloh Heavenly Quine was convicted of murder in the first degree, kidnapping, and robbery and was given a life sentence with no parole after he murdered 33-year-old father of three Shahid Ali Baig. Quine was the transgender inmate who received the first state funded gender reassignment surgery under Attorney General Harris. 

Baig's daughter Farida was against the taxpayer funded surgery. "My dad begged for his life," she said. "It just made me dizzy and sick. I'm helping pay for his surgery; I live in California. It's kind of like a slap in the face."

The Biden-Harris campaign named a new deputy press secretary for Pennsylvania, Eric Lipke, a drag queen who previously worked for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach), according to an article from American Greatness. Lipka’s X profile lists him as “on weekends: drag queen” and his social media accounts are full of videos and photos of him and others in “drag.”

The Biden-Harris campaign is aware of Lipka’s public cross-dressing and social media posts, with their PA Communications Director Jack Doyle telling Fox News that, “We’re proud to have a team of 200 talented Pennsylvania staffers, including Eric.”

Harris made an initial appearance as a new presidential candidate on a promo for RuPaul's Drag Race, LAX Leader reported. "We are all in this together," she said in the clip. "And your vote is your power. So please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote at Vote.Gov."

Harris was named the new Democrat candidate for the upcoming presidential election after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed his former running mate in a post on X.

RuPaul's Drag Race is a reality television show about cross-dressing men who compete in various challenges and are judged by RuPaul, who has been named "the queen of drag" for his work as a drag queen. The show has filmed sixteen seasons and created spinoffs in Canada and the UK.
