  • Yes, and several dem candidates for the midterms have ran anti-trans ads, especially when it comes to sports bans - the classic entry point for wider transphobic sentiment, as it seems like a minor issue at a superficial glance, but fully necessitates buying into the central premise of not recognizing trans people in our lived gender. They’re now at the point were some of them have switched from talking about trans women in women’s sports to the GOP wording of “men in women’s sports”, which should make it abundantly clear how this will continue













  • Sometimes it’s leftists or even minorites trying to be “one of the good ones”

    Yeah at one point i’ve had a run-in with a trans woman on lemmygrad who was really fucking adament that we should just concede the sports ban issue because it affects such a small part of the community (which is precisely why the GOP has made it their core anti-trans talking point, you can wage this war on the back of literally 5 college students and a couple hundred trans girls that are already out in highschool, but it has implications that directly affect every single trans person out there). Probably not surprising that she also gave off the biggest transmed vibes you can imagine and also vagueposted about what a community elder with a long history of activism she was, which probably meant “i’ve been out for 5 years and have been to three corporate pride marches in the 2nd year of that”.

    Regarding Obama, he’s always the guy in the Dems who does the disciplining. When Obama talks to you, it means the DNC thinks you’ve overstepped your boundaries and Daddy Tan Suit is kindly reminding you what the party line is.
