    Trans rights isn’t a winning political strategy.

    I say this as a trans person. Americans don’t care about 1.3% of the population, they care about themselves.

    People want economic progress, that’s why they elected a strongman conman.

      It just doesn’t actually seem like the democratic party does anything for trans rights? As an outsider looking in, it just seems like the republicans are screaming about trans people and how horrible they are, and how horrible the democrats are for supporting them, while the democrats completely ignores everything about trans people.

        Yeah, they capitulate on bills that seek to delegitimize trans people. So not only are they choosing identity politics instead of real policy, but even fails to support the targeted groups they talk about protecting.

        Neoliberals are beginning to look equally as invalid as conservativism
