Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.
Exactaly how I feel. They are being wronged by our government and we need to make things right, but there is so many more issues directly effecting every single person in this country that we need to be focusing on first. Sadly a lot people in the middle are uncomfortable with trans people and leaning too far into those issues right now just gives the pedo party more talking points to swing the middle away from sanity and into their wacky right wing shit.
