in the wake of Amy Acton's anti-trans turn in Ohio, I will re-up this @bostonreview.bsky.social essay where I make the case that abandoning trans rights is BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base w/o winning over a single new voter... www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
