Cindy Martin knowingly misgendered multiple trans people (including Dex) in the fucking DFL FEMINIST CAUCUS meeting, but sure, go off about how publicizing the fact that KILLED A CHILD IN A HIT AND RUN is bullying. It’s a really good look for you, @dfl.org.
Discussing the facts of the court case she is currently on trial for is not bullying. Saying that this woman should not be in leadership and that it reflects poorly on the DFL is not bullying. Public pressure is the only goddamn thing the state leadership responds to so we have to use it.
