This is ridiculous. If the team we are supposed to be rooting for is advocating for genocide, then what’s the fucking difference, you spineless twits “The anti-genocide people are why we can’t win” is the worst Liberal mantra of all fucking time

The sad reality is that progressive backlash against Marcy Kaptur’s transphobic ads is the kind of advertising that money can’t buy in her R+11 district that includes the most conservative part of the state. www.rooster.info/p/marcy-kapt...

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Call me crazy but I think telling transphobic voters "you deserve healthcare so vote blue no matter who" is way more convincing than telling trans voters "you dont deserve healthcare so vote blue no matter who"

can those of you mad because you think trans whining on microblogs will depress support for dem politicians please imagine for one second how dem politicians spouting transphobia on enormous mainstream platforms depresses support for trans people

Re-upping this for everyone who doesn't understand that when Obama didn't support same-sex marriage, gay people did not issue an official and unanimous message of "we understand, that's fine with us"

If you're sacrificing trans votes and goodwill because you think it will be an overall political gain, you can't expect to do that and still have our votes and goodwill. You sacrificed those, remember?

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

when you get fired from the coalition this is a signal that your votes don't matter *and* they're going to set you up to take the blame *if* their calculus fails. for the record. there's nothing you can do about it because the choice was made for you. so voting for them is optional now.

this is the exact same calculus US dems did on Palestine in 2024, they were wrong and the past two years have been trying to blame someone else for it.

The DNC Officially Refused to Put a Palestinian Speaker Onstage
One Dem lawmaker worries the party will lose because “we did not treat these people with respect they deserve and instead just wished they’d go away”

i think people need to remember that if a political party starts demonizing you or tossing your basic rights aside or conceding to the right on your life then the tacit agreement here is that they know they're gonna lose your votes and already incorporated that into the calculus (they either

one can vote, but don't vote if you don't want to. you can play and draw on that day. they'll blame trans people not voting if lost, and if they win the election they'll blame trans people for not getting higher margins. it's a lose-lose. a disposable population is auto-designated scapegoat.

Look, I’ve already got the books, so I’m gonna read them to my kids. Look, my kids loved the books and they really want to go to the theme park, how can I ruin that for them? Look, the game is on the xbox pass, it’s not like I’m buying it. Look, I’ve already got HBO. Look, it’s just a bathroom.

I don't want to be hot enough that my friends say "omg ur so pretty" I wanna get hot enough that 90% of my friends can't spend longer than 5 minutes with me without thinking about how much they want to fuck my mouth until i pass out

you ask a liberal to name a trans woman & nine times out of ten they will name a dead one they fucking love dead trannies because a dead tranny is one without material needs and one whose mouth won’t stop you from putting words in it

"you're scaring the hoes" ENOUGH. do not project your own cowardice unto the hoes. I have heard their words and seen their deeds, and you besmirch both. die where you stand

you! newly out trans woman! yes! im talking to you! ditch those lowrise skinny jeans and find a pair with room in the leg and a high waist. please. im begging you. my children are dying
