I’m not a single issue voter. But I am a single issue non-voter. If you pull some anti-trans bullshit it’s a no. Because I know your soul is void.

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.

Thursday is almost like Friday, not quite as powerful but could serve if needed. Thursday holds the office of Vice-Friday.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

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."
