The American Democratic Party is overwhelmingly pro-trans.

Even looking down from Canada it's pretty obvious that isn't true. To the point where it's predictable that trans people announcing that they will abstain from elections with anti trans candidates will not have ANY of the desired impact. And we will see the Dems actually retaliate in response.

US trans people are going to be the next Dearborn Muslims in party rhetoric. Hopefully I'm wrong but if there was actual support for trans people, these candidates would get a phone call from national with talking points and a reprimand.

But the lack of any kind of response except for "effing trans going to cost us the election" really says everything that needs to be said.

You are in a social media bubble.

Problem is you can't extrapolate that to the rest of the party (certainly not to all those running) She overturned a rule on procedural grounds after getting a legal opinion months ago w/ no press statement. A win is a win, but this is bottom of the barrel stuff.

Meanwhile you have 8 dems crossing party lines for H.R. 2616, 3 for MTG's “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” - zero consequences from the party, etc. ACLU described the latter bill as “the most extreme anti-trans legislation ever considered by Congress.” Bluntly, those numbers will increase.
