A whole host of overpaid consultants and talking heads told them not to do the right thing and they still chose to do the right thing, so I'd even go a step further and encourage people to contact Senators who opposed this measure (SB 9) and thank them for standing by trans people and our families
I want to quickly say how significant it is that after the last election, Dems have held relatively strong on trans rights, even on sports.
Senators in battleground states are not flipping.
Their one scuff was the NDAA, where some did flip.
Budget fight is next though.
