“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”
“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”
What are Republicans offering for trans rights? For something so polarizing I’d argue that simply standing up for it is anything but a hollow platitude. Let’s normalize it
Some red states label cross dressing in front of children a sex crime, so they offer the chance to go to prison for wearing clothes they disapprove of! Not the easiest environment for exploring your gender.
Oh man, they offer so much. They offer the opportunity to be called by your deadname for the rest of your life. They offer the opportunity to be use the wrong bathroom for the rest of your life. They offer to limit the sports that you can play. They offer the ability to prove you can stay ready and defensively yourself.
Don’t forget the inevitable
concentrationre-education camps!The right to be beaten by fascist thugs if you’re “caught” using the “wrong” bathroom
It was more a rhetorical question but I strongly believe Walz getting up there and saying something like “folks just trying to live their lives” isn’t hollow at all. Let’s all talk about how totally unobtrusive it all is, how it doesn’t affect thin-skinned little crybabies nearly as much as trying to mow a lawn at 5AM. Trans people affect bigots not at fucking all, if Pride is too much for these folk they need to quit showing up, right?

Republicans don’t pretend to care
Oh they care. They care a great deal. They care so much that they want to put trans people in conversion camps.
Republicans DONT PRETEND TO CARE. They will tell a person to their face that they think. The ones that will lie to our faces talking about caring so much than doing nothing while our backs are turned are the greater threat.
Really? You think Democrats are a greater threat than the ones promising to take all trans rights away and put trans people in conversion camps because you’ve decided that Democrats are only pretending to care?
History has shown us time and again their inaction allows Republicans laws to take hold. Dems haven’t done shit in the face of the GOP passing over 500 anti trans laws. Dems are the greater threat because trans believe they have an ally in the person about to stab them in the back
You seem to think that everyone who is cis is against you.
That’s simply not true.
I’m talking about politicians, not people in general.
Even then, you seem to think that every cis politician is against you, which is also simply not true.
Oh, the Republicans care. They care about their weird and nasty desire to opress trans folk a great deal.
Democrats care so much they haven’t even mentioned them this election season
Maybe check out the article we’re posting under, or does Tim Walz not count as a Democrat in your worldview?
Truth! hahahahaha
