Memorize this for when “sensible moderate” politicians try to get you to throw your trans friends and relatives under the bus. Not only is it shitty and evil, it’s (say it with me) BAD POLITICS!
very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

If I see one more sci-fi show or movie where there is breathable air on a planet with no plants, I swear. I know the desert/stone/lava/metal planet the art department whipped up looks cool, but your actors are gonna have to put on those space suits with the interior helmet lights.
