    Standing up for the rights of all people should be a winning issue for Democrats. Trans people should not be an exception to that.

    I think in the past Democrats were to reluctant to fight on social issues, such as abortion. And I think the inability to push back on Republicans on these social issues cost Democrats elections. Democrats are finally fighting for a women’s right to an abortion in a bold way and stating loudly that abortion is women’s health care.

    I’m weird. Being weird is good. Calling fascists weird is such an effective strategy because it shatters their fragile egos. They are unable to see themselves as anything other than their fictional concept of ‘normal’. So the attack will not work in reverse, as it’s not going to bother anyone besides the fascists. As long Democrats continue to fight for everyone’s rights they will dominate Republicans on social issues in polling and elections. edit: typo

      “I’m not like them!” Yeah ya are, you’re weird af. Weirder even. I may be into some weird stuff, but I don’t try to dictate what a child does with their parts. That’s REALLY fuckin weird.
