    211 democrats voted against it. 3 democrats from Texas vote against the Democratic Party by voting with the Republicans.

    Republican funded propaganda:

    “Both sides are the same”

        Another bad faith argument from a bad actor

          Instead of coming in from all and accusing trans people of being bad actors, why don’t you browse through the other posts here first. My opinion is informed, democrats have by-and-large abandoned trans people, a couple DSA DINOS does not change that fact. Look around the country, and you’ll see the pattern. The democratic front runner Gavin Newsom is decidedly anti-trans.

            You trying to cherry pick the handful of democrats that voted against the Democratic Party and use them to sow apathy in pro trans voters is all the evidence I need.

            Your opinion is intentionally uninformed and rejects reality for the purpose of doing harm to me and my fellow trans people.

              Then please enlightenment me. Show me I’m wrong. I want to be wrong, but the evidence I’ve seen is that democrats are working to ban trans people too.

                I’ve pointed out that your examples are a few people voting against the Democratic Party and with the Republican Party to get anti trans legislation.

                I’ve pointed out that the Democratic Party has trans politicians.

                You reject this reality and repeat Republican talking points.

                  Here’s some of my evidence:

                  https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/03/newsom-transgender-athletes/

                  https://www.them.us/story/tom-suozzi-seth-moulton-new-york-times-trans-people-blame-election-2024

                  By allowing and tolerating these “few” democrats to hold anti-trans positions, the party is indicating that trans rights are negotiable. That means they are not allies.

                    Your argument is, trans politicians like the democrat mentioned in this post, are not trans allies… because you can cherry pick individuals that voted against the Democratic Party and with the Republican Party for anti trans legislation written solely by republicans.

                    So blatantly disingenuous.

                    Your obvious effort to sow apathy among trans voters then blame trans democrats for having to compromise with republicans who then have the majority of votes from lack of pro trans voter turnout.
