5. Perhaps most telling, independents opposed bans on trans youth care by 54 percent. Dems were overwhelmingly opposed, with 67 percent against. Republicans favored bans by 64 percent. The finding undercuts a line from “centrist” strategists who insist Democrats should retreat on transgender rights.

In all the talk about Charlie Kirk, there’s not been nearly enough discussion about murders and suicides of LGBTQIA+ people—especially youth.
Kirk and his allies targeted that community, stoking hate, misunderstanding, and radicalization.

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

rather than yelling at those of us who refused to vote for a politician who has already thrown trans people under the bus, you should be yelling at your favorite politicians and telling them to course correct on trans issues.

If us saying “we’re not voting for u if u don’t course correct on trans issues” & lib voters pooping their pants every time we say it out of fear they won’t have enough votes to win doesn’t indicate that it’s an issue Dems should course correct on if they want to win…
sounds like Dems r just dense.

I think the dilemma is if you end up with LBJ or Goldwater. MLK isn’t on the ballot. Even Lincoln’s positions on slavery were not extremely progressive in 1860.
Protecting trans rights will require proving that it’s an issue Dems can win on. Otherwise, we’re in big trouble.
