We're about to see why appeasing one's opposition doesn't work, yet again

Oh hey the token trans person that is allowed in government to rubberstamp all policies is not going to do anything? damn who could have seen it coming

it is cool we have a trans woman elected though, just sucks that she sucks

I suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise. The Democratic party would never support a candidate who isn’t a spineless coward. They don’t want us to elect people who will fight for us. The only reason they don’t primary people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib is that they’d risk losing those seats to a Republican.

Fucking losers. Gonna compromise and respectability their way straight into fascism but somehow we are the assholes for refusing to support them.

I'm not here to fight about bathrooms

Fuck off, being able to exist in public is a fight worth having. This framing as if bathrooms aren't important pisses me off.

What the fuck is the point of her then?

Starting out spineless to set the tone for her congressional career.

The worst part of this is all the cis libs calling it a brilliant move.

Just kidding, the worst part of this is that it's an early indicator that we're going to be bulldozing forward into all sorts of measures eliminating trans people from public life. One party will take everything from us, and the other will think they're brave for abandoning us.

Im bummed that shes a zionist lib but i was happy to see MTG and her ilk gettinf triggered. Im bummed about this result - it almost feels like its giving transphobes/terfs an example of a "good trans person". "She doesnt make a fuss about bathrooms or try to play sports with girls, she isnt shoving it in our face like all the radical wokies"

Hopefully she stands for trans rights in the future though. I disagree with her action here but i also understand the desire to make it go away. It would just suck if the first openly trans congressperson ends up supporting a ban on transgender healthcare for minors or some shit like that

GIRL FUCK OFF WHO IS THAT FOR

Why bother even running for congress. Zooey Zephyr fucking showed up every day even after they kicked her out for decrying the treatment of trans youth. Why did you wanna be in congress so bad

Like seriously, I get her saying that there are other issues to work on, but like, do you think the people would have voted for a trans woman if they didn't think trans rights and representation are important? Stand up if not for yourself then for all the other folks these guys are coming after with your implicit permission!

There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership

absolutely disgusting spineless traitor behavior. anyone who would be so complicit in their own oppression deserves the horrible fucking death their allies will no doubt inflict upon them

revolting. abhorrent. ugh

no "congressional representative" will ever represent you when your very nature is incompatable with the foundational myths of the empire. never be fooled and never give up any part of yourself for their false acceptance.

Bit idea: ratchet effect but most of the time the people who are supposedly stopping the ratchet just decide that they don't feel like doing it.

Unfortunately expected of a zionist lib though

hardly surprising, you've gotta be on an incredible level of self hatred to be this much of a comprador token minority in the halls of power anyway. just sad and tragic

The gym part is even more confusing for me, like why do they have a women's gym in the white house to begin with, is it just a historical vestige or is there so much sexual harassment in DC that they needed to lock out the men? It's not a particularly normal thing in the US to have women's gyms, the YWCA allow men. Even if they are going with the she's not a woman argument, how does that apply to the gym?

Is the final stage of liberalism just rolling over and showing your belly?

a liberal trans girlboss goes rogue? im shocked

Can we get a bill that disallows Titans from posing as humans and serving in Congress?

Ahahahaha fuck you
