>> SINCE THE START OF THIS YEAR, OVER 400 ANTI -- [ LAUGHTER ] SINCE THE START OF THIS YEAR, OVER 400 ANTI-LBGTQ BILLS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MANY OF WHICH TARGET TRANSYOUTH. HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT IS SOMEONE WITH THEIR OWN INTRODUCTION. >> INTRODUCING SNL'S FIRST NONBINARY CAST MEMBER. IT'S MOLLY KEARNEY! >> THANK YOU, MR. CHE. >> MOLLY, WHAT IS ALL THIS. >> WELL,
AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO COME TO UPDATE AND TALK ABOUT TRANSPEOPLE, BUT I HAVE FOR A MUCH LONGER TIME THAN THAT WANTED TO FLY DOWN FROM THE CEILING. >> DID IT LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS? >> YEAH. BUT THIS HARNESS IS PRETTY TIGHT AND MY GROIN AREA IS BEEFED. I HAVE BEEN HUNG UP ON MY GENITALS FOR FAR TOO LONG, AND I'M STARTING
TO FEEL LIKE A FREAKING REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER. HELLO. >> THAT'S AN AWESOME TRANSITION. AS OF THIS WEEK, THERE ARE NOW OVER 14 STATES THAT HAVE PASSED BILLS RESTRICTING HEALTH CARE FOR TRANSKIDS. >> LISTEN TO THAT, MICHAEL, RESTRICTING HEALTH CARE FOR KIDS. FOR SOME REASON, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE WORD TRANS THAT MAKES PEOPLE FORGET THE WORD KIDS. IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT TRANSKIDS LIVES, IT MEANS YOU DON'T
CARE ABOUT FREAKING KIDS' LIVES. >> WOW. I CAN TELL YOU'RE REALLY UPSET ABOUT THAT. >> I AM! AND ALSO, MY LEGS ARE GOING NUMB, AND I MIGHT PASS OUT. >> HOW LONG WERE YOU HANGING UP THERE? >> LONGER THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED. I TRIED TO CALL DOWN, BUT NO ONE COULD HEAR ME. AT ONE POINT, I HEARD A CREW GUY SAY, IS SHE GONNA DIE
UP THERE. AND THEN ANOTHER GUY WAS LIKE, YOU MEAN, ARE THEY GONNA DIE UP THERE. AND THEN THEY BOTH WALKED AWAY AND DIDN'T HELP, WHICH FEELS A LOT LIKE HOW TRANSPEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED RIGHT NOW. BUT DON'T WORRY. WE HAVE A CODE WORD FOR EMERGENCIES, AND IT WAS TRANSRIGHTS. OH, MY GOSH. GOOD GOLLY! THAT WAS THE CODE FOR CONFETTI! MY BAD. >> THAT WAS SO LOUD.
>> WELL, YEAH. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP! WE ARE MAKING TRANS KIDS GROW UP TOO FAST. WE SHOULD BE KEEPING THEM SAFE, AND WE NEED TO LIFT THEM UP. NOT ME, THEM. I MEAN THE KIDS! THEY GOT MY PRONOUNS RIGHT, LET'S GO! WAIT A MINUTE. BEFORE I GO. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU. WHAT'S HAPPENING, KIDS, IS WRONG. AND YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SCARED. OUR
JOB IS TO PROTECT YOU, AND YOUR JOB IS TO FOCUS ON BEING A KID. IT'S KIND OF LIKE ME FLYING IN THE SNL SKY. THERE'S A BUNCH OF DUDES ASKING YOU ABOUT YOUR CROTCH AND CONTROLLING WHEN AND WHERE YOU GET TO PEE. IF YOU JUST HANG ON, YOU'LL LOOK UP AND REALIZE, YOU'RE FLYING, KID. HEY, MR. CHE, AND I STILL IN THE FRAME? >> YOUR FEET
