The high maternal mortality rate in the U.S. masks dramatic variation by race and ethnicity: the number of deaths per 100,000 births for black non-Hispanic women in 2018 (37.1) was more than two times higher than that for white mothers.

Grown-up conversations about women’s spaces and serious debate about the potential clashes of women’s rights and trans rights are entirely reasonable. The transphobic bullying and targeting of individual trans women is disgusting and indistinguishable from other forms of bigotry.
