“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.”

    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.

              Not true, this isn’t about cis anything it’s about lip service that’s also getting people killed.

              And why exactly would I assume cis people hate me when I’m cis myself?

                I thought this was about who was an ally to trans people and who wasn’t?

                So why are you assuming that all Democrat politicians, or even just specifically Tim Walz doesn’t actually care about trans people? Where’s your evidence? Is this just what your gut brain tells you?

                  He will turn into another federal lip service democrat. Democrats are as much an ally as Republicans. Right wing war criminals got more airtime at the convention than any marginalized groups.

                    In other words, this is what your gut brain is telling you and you have no evidence. Thank you for confirming that.
