Are transgender people no longer an effective scapegoat for the GOP? One Texas Republican leader says attacks on gender identity are falling flat in Lone Star State elections.
Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan told Texas Monthly that Republicans focused too much on culture war issues this election cycle and are paying the price. “We’re just not paying attention to the issues that matter,” he said.



I was always wondering why they had such an emphasis on this not problem. I understand that some backwards people are uncomfortable with the idea, because it vastly exceeds the limits of their minds, but would any woman actually notice when a transgender woman was sitting in the next toilet stall? Has any transgender woman in sport actually made a noticable difference there, at least at the top?
