## Summary

At a progressive campus event, US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said efforts to restrict transgender people’s rights could threaten everyone’s rights. Her remarks came in response to a transgender student who said they felt abandoned by Democrats, and drew applause from the audience.

Ocasio-Cortez also argued that transgender Americans make up about 1 per cent or less of the population, according to the article’s account. The article focuses on her support for transgender inclusion in women’s sports, but its text ends before the student’s reported correction and provides no further details.
