If the Nazis are going after trans folks I want my politicians defending them. Otherwise, they should be advocating for bodily autonomy for all people

They should focus on transgender issues, not on "the transgender issue."

But really, they should be focusing on a lot of things, and that's why goverments have so many departments and agencies.

Still less than the majority is sad. Best quote related to it I’ve seen “there are more measles cases than trans athletes, so why are we focusing on the latter?”

Yeah, they say that now after voting in the christian nationalist bigots. Now is the time when they should stop focusing on these issues, right. How convenient.

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.

Thank you for the correction. Happy to be wrong in this instance!
