there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but is it too much to ask that mothers of 16 year old children refrain from buying them Maverick 88 pump-act shotguns for their birthday? kobi5.com/news/local-n...

I've written about anti-trans Dems and how cis ppl should respond repeatedly over the last few weeks. I have multiple threads recommending this action by BHF. Some have taken to yelling at trans ppl who lash out in pain and grief and betrayal. That's not helpful. This is.
I finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you

This is really well done, great tour of recent history for those who might not understand the rights trans people have lost or the devastation in learning some Democrats want to entrench those losses rather than reverse them.
When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

Trans people don't want your pity. Miss us with your regretful sorrow. We're not dead yet, we're the stalwarts fighting the good fight, on your behalf as well as our own.
You know what I'd like? I'd like cis Democrats to say "thank you." "Thank you for being the moral center of our movement." "Thank you for refusing to go quietly." "Thank you for fighting ICE. Thank you for forming coalitions with other communities under threat."
