McBride deserves to be treated with respect and use the woman’s bathroom. Yet she has every right to deal with this her way. But trans people deserve better. This just shows how much the system will never treat trans folks fairly, no how much we play & succeed by its rules. We need to tear it down.

I suspect that the DNC forced her to comply. Which shows that they haven’t learned a goddamn thing and are going to scapegoat us for losing the 2024 election.
All on her lonesome ✅️
Leopards eat face now ✅️
Sympathy feeled ❌️
I'm so aggravated.
she's a leader and should lead by example. she threw every trans staffer on the hill under the bus and now they'll be expected to capitulate too.
And this has ramifications not only for her but for present and future trans Congressional staff (and ppl in general if the Mace's bill goes through)
Lots of hairy men taking all the stalls would give them pause to think about the implications. 🤷
Democrats will only defend groups large enough to make it worth the cost.
All this hypocrisy is public. Voters see a party with no conviction. That's why they lose
But I gotta admit it stings to see the Democrats stick by the old canard of respectability politics.
Regardless, we need to resist the urge to turn our anger on the victim, because that's what they want.
I mean she supports Israel so I don't think she is what you want her to be.
It’ll galvanise and empower every TERF and bigot who has a trans colleague to make nasty demands.
Where does that end? How is this helpful?
her visibility just harmed us.
Transphobes also using that one issue to not whitewash trans oppression: ALSO IMPOSSIBLE
it’s persecution and she’s an asshole.
Fucking lickspittle.

Scratch a fauxgressive and a fascist bleeds.
it’s not one issue.
In what way does saying "I'll comply with attacks designed to harm people like me" show class?
Why was AOC putting up so much more of a fight than a trans woman who was used to target all of us on TDoR of all days?
I deserve people in positions of power to put up a fight for me, all women's rights, and all women's dignity. Not to roll over like this
Lets get this compliance on early!
Every oppressed minority that steps into power faces the same choice of "which battles to lose in order to win the war"
And it shows the Dems haven't realised why they lost.
I hope they realise and don't emulate our Labour party by shifting even more to the right.
I feel that this is a huge misplay by them as by allowing an openly direct and focused attack against one of their colleagues it's just establishing that as an acceptable norm
