New Hampshire Democratic Rep. Jonah Orion Wheeler is again drawing attention for his views on transgender issues after calling “gender ideology” an “illiberal, backwards way of thinking” in a new video. The remarks follow Wheeler’s previous support for legislation restricting transgender rights, adding another chapter to a record that has repeatedly put him at odds with LGBTQ+ advocates and fellow Democrats.

    Just saw a clip on Meidastouch - it was from Faux, and some Republican was saying how they were talking to a voter and that voter was telling them being (anti) trans was their #1 issue.

    I mean…WTAF. I get it being high on your list if you are trans or someone close to you is. But some jagoff that has no skin in the game is making being anti-trans their #1 thing?

    So I guess clean air, clean water, safe streets, healthcare for all, a living wage or better at a job with dignity, improving education, having rights upheld, no endless foreign wars, addressing energy issues and climate change…that all takes a backseat to wringing your hands over…“men in women’s sports”.
