@mcbride.house.gov, you are abosultely correct to not just jump at every single slight or obstacle some members of the GOP throw at you. If you spend all your time fighting those, you'll never have time to fight for the people.

What is behind all of this fear about members of the LGBTQIAA+ communities? That we are sexual predators? Statistics don't support that myth. That trans women will assault cisgender women for sex? If so, then your fear should be directed at cisgender men pretending to be trans, not at trans people.
