This is where ceding ground on stuff like trans participation in sports leads.

It doesn’t achieve a middle ground. It emboldens more attacks.

American Nazism is here.
At Turning Point AmFest, Trump promises on day one to go after trans people with executive orders, banning trans people from the military, banning gender affirming care, and removing trans people from schools.
