Michael Bloomberg Made Transphobic Remarks in 2019
--------------------------------------------------

Former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg is under
fire after newly surfaced video showed him making transphobic remarks
less than one year ago. Buzz Feed News first reported on this comment
from Bloomberg, which came last March during a Bermuda Business
Development Agency conference in Manhattan.

Michael Bloomberg: "If your conversation during a presidential election
is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she or it can go to -
and go to the locker room with their daughter, that's not a winning
formula for most people."
