Well that’s true, though, right?
If you call yourself a centrist, but then support an interventionist policy that makes trans healthcare more difficult… you’re probably just wrong about being a centrist.
The same applies the other way. If you support governmental protections for trans healthcare (broadly), and enshrining basic protections across state lines, you’re, again, not a centrist.
The difference is that the latter group isn’t ashamed, so they aren’t hiding their opinions for the sake of being less controversial. We’re proudly supporting our trans friends because good people don’t take the middle ground when one side wants to e.g. prosecute their friends’ doctors for providing healthcare across state lines.
If this was a discussion about what a centrist is, sure we could take that at face value and say a “real centrist is…”.
In terms of this discussion of the author’s opinions on the Democrats that call themselves centrist and their actions, no.
