    The fact that this needs to be said is a testament to the efficacy of Republican culture war bullshit. Instead of discussing the numerous unprecedented existential threats to human civilization, everything from pollution to the end of democracy, we’re focused on… trans rights.

          There’s a difference between recognizing that defending democracy is absolutely the #1 thing to be talking about and doing that and entirely going “blah blah” at basic human rights

            Trans rights are literally human rights. I’m fairly certain the Democratic platform is to protect human rights. How would it benefit us to focus on one particular niche right among the others, many of which are way more important?

            • the right to clean air
            • the right to clean water
            • the right to medical care
            • the right to free speech
            • the right to choose your own gender
            • the right to remain silent
            • the right to eat pizza in the shower
            • the right to affordable housing
            • the right to education
            • the right to stick things in your butt
            • the right to listen to music
            • the right to eat random debris
            • the right to have cats
            • the right to own blankets
            • etcetera

                Oh so Democrats are adopting policies to intentionally harm trans people now? To you not campaigning on something automatically means the candidate will work against that thing?

                  They came around on immigration. They’ll come around on trans rights. Wonder who’s next.

                    What is the cost of trans to society? Because there is in fact a cost to not keeping a minimum of control over how many people and who can immigrate to a country, so it’s perfectly normal to want people to get in through the regular process instead of jumping a wall.

                  Thread’s about how the party ignored the rights of trans people. And I’ll notice you ignored what I said about Palestinians. Human rights also includes foreign policy.

                    Any defense of human rights is a defense of trans rights. I’m not sure why you find this confusing. Maybe you want these rights to be enumerated for pandering purposes?
