    Trans rights have been gutted in this country, Criminalizing trans healthcare is currently happening in the US. Trans people are dying and having to flee their homes and their families, so please, politicians, focus on transgender issues by protecting their civil rights.

    Instead we have half the Democrats in office saying “Well what if we give up just some of trans people’s civil rights? I’m sure the nazis won’t take the rest away! I have to look soft on civil rights for this unpopular, marginalized group in order to get re-elected, so that I can keep protecting democracy from the nazis by doing their work for them.”

      It’s less than half of them doing that following their voting record it’s closer to a third.
