Democrats would get nothing for throwing trans Americans under the bus - eviltoast

In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there’s been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There’s no evidence backing that up.

    But trans rights weren’t a big focus for Dems. In fact we were routinely dismissed or outright thrown under the bus. The article talks about that, the GOP completely outspent on trans rights by 9x. At best, Dems promised to simply keep our existing rights. We showed up despite that, so they managed to reach us and our loved ones by virtue of promising not to try to kill us.

    Your suggestion that Dems should focus on jobs and stuff is valid. How does supporting trans folk have anything to do with that? And, considering how rock-bottom the response was against these anti-trans ads, why is this even being discussed as part the problem?
