While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago.
If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

Not a great sign when the NRA is doing more to speak up against trans people having constitutional rights stripped away than a lot of our actual supposed allies are.
Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

I think this is right. Reactionary centrists want an endless stream of Sista Souljah moments, a Democratic party that denounces and scolds its own base until the annoying language goes away.
Not only is this impossible, it is electoral suicide!

Good thread and I think makes clear the only plausible reading of this doc is not “language dem candidates shouldn’t use” it’s “language dem candidates should publicly yell at their base for (hypothetically?) using so they look cool to imagined centrist voters and savvy politicos”
I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!

This is Gavin Newsom introducing and attempting to mainstream the idea that adults should also not be allowed to transition.
