This is a very well written article that goes well into my frustrations with democrats on trans matters right now. Republicans have made demonizing us a central plank of their messaging, and there's very little counter messaging at all from the democrats (and in the case of Allred and Brown, both have adopted some anti trans policy positions)

The Republicans want us gone, and at 0.3% of the population we don't represent a large enough force to meaningfully push back on their bullshit. We *need* democrats to step up and be allies for us right now, because they're the only thing standing between us and a homicidal GOP.
