Numerous Democratic midterm candidates have previously made anti-trans statements or voted for anti-trans legislation. Trans journalist Erin Reed published a list yesterday of these candidates and advised her followers not to vote for them, lest their victories convince the Democratic Party “that throwing transgender people under the bus is a winning strategy,” Reed wrote.

    Trans woman here. Them wanting more research on trans people in sports doesn’t scare me.

    The fascist pedophile rapist war criminals scare me.

    That is all.

      Them pandering to right wing anti-trans propaganda scares me. We already have so many issues with liberals being fake performative allies willing to turn on a dime.

      Concede this ground and the battlefield of public discourse will be pushed further.

        What if we’re wrong?

        What if height, wing-span, and upper body leverage advantages can occur from male puberty and don’t simply “go away” with hormone treatment?

        The truth matters.

          You do understand that people come in a variety of sizes? Looking at female athletes their bodies dominate my little frame.

          The fact you’re being such a fucking pick-me on this issue makes me livid.

            It honestly seems like you’re just being a pick-me for the left to be honest.

            There’s a reason medical transitions are a thing. Are you really going to sit here and say puberty and physical sex changes nothing?

            Are you trying to change your body, or change the minds of the entire world?

            What exactly do you expect?
