The crazy part is the trans people I know just want them to say this issue is not a priority of my campaign, but I do stand for the dignity and respect for all of my constituents.
They understand what Republicans have made into a major issue is not. The understand it’s the republicans putting them
in danger by making these things a huge issue.
What they get mad about is not that Democrats can’t do much at the moment to address the problems but rather that many democrats are buying the Republican frame lending credibility to the trans-panic hysteria. They primarily want democrats to cool down
The centrist consultants or whatever big donors are pushing Dems towards this stuff need to be launched out of the party physically and metaphorically.
Who would have ever thought this would be the outcome..
ME! I did and so did most of the transgender community. How do people convince themselves it's not a rake that they are stepping on?
Why is it so hard to just say, "I believe in the dignity and privacy of all human beings, and I think this obsessive drumbeat against specifically transgender people is just weird and mean."?
