Well Nire, good luck to you. I am still a supporter, if not an ally. I can’t conceive what you go through but I wish you well. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

No lecture, just conversation. Hey, you don’t want to educate me, okay. But with no conversation, nobody’s getting smarter. Insults in response to an offer to converse is not politics. It’s just more internet noise

How is she shitting in your shoes? Truly, I’m curious.

Why am I not an ally? Because I believe that name calling is childish. I’m not ridiculed by the comments but they do you no good. If I’m not an ally, good luck with getting the numbers you need to effect change.

I get it but not too many Dems want to drop you. Realize you need support from people for whom trans rights are not their number one issue. You’ll get nada from MAGA. Don’t run them off. Educate.

There you have it. Thank you for that. Please keep in mind, Sarah’s got a vote, she’s in the door. If she’s an in yo face warrior, no one will listen to her (DC does not play nice) and they will hate on her and hate on you. YOU be the warrior, she needs to be a convincer.

Be a warrior for your community, but there are people who are open to helping. I’m just advocating a little slack for sincere people who are trying to help. They are imperfect beings like myself who don’t always get it right but we are allies. Educate your allies don’t turn your backs.

That post has been deleted. Thank you, Winter.

Now that is a fair point. Offense was not intended or even considered by me. Hey, I’m an old dude who still has a lot to learn.
I thank you for pointing it out. Truly. Your allies who are not trans will make mistakes. Hopefully they will apologize for them.

Jeez Louise. I didn’t say you lost it forever, but the cause is in deep shit. Listen, I’m not telling you to stand down. I’m saying Trump got some votes by hating on trans people. If you lump people like me with them, you make progress more difficult.

If someone blames the oppressed they’re terribly wrong. Neither Klein or McBride did that. They may not be the warriors you want, but that’s not the same thing as an enemy. Y’all have a right to be pissed off but don’t chase away your friends. Maybe not ur best friends but you need friends.

She’s being real. She did not say we lost b/c of the trans issue, she said we lost the trans issue. Look who’s in charge — is dt gonna help you? Mike Johnson? MTG? You won’t change minds with childish insults. It makes it easier for the creeps and chases away your allies.

I don’t know squat about being trans, but I know a lot about politics. If I’m a pos because I think Sarah has a point, you will have little support. It will be pure, but it will be small. How many trans members in Congress? Sarah. That’s it. You need allies. Quit shooting ur friends. I’m not MTG.

The comments about Sarah only validate one of her main points - the Dems eat their own. If Sarah McBride, the one only trans person in Congress is your enemy, you will never have enough allies to attain your goals. Not pretty, it’s reality.
