Certainly her priorities in this moment are clear. But anyone who thinks that limited discrimination from the left would have prevented rather than enabled further discrimination from the right is delusional.

The Democrats put rapists in women’s prisons, they cheated women and girls out of sports, they promoted surgical transition of children with no age limits in Rachel Levine. You don’t think these issues weren't giving Trump a series of open goals?
Trump’s crude and thuggish bullying will ultimately be a huge political boost for the trans community. You do not, under any circumstances “gotta hand it to Trump”
I'll bet you don't, because transphobia is an "acceptable" prejudice, which leads people to the crackpot conclusion that the left weighing in on sports would have made the tiniest bit of difference to what Trump is doing
I don't accept that my position is transphobic. And I think that the left either trying to align with mainstream positions on issues or trying to make a case for the inclusion of trans-women in women's sports would have made a tiny difference.
Yes, after 20 years of watching the Tories trying to triangulate Farage out of existence by imitation, only to make him stronger, I'm puzzled how leftists being slightly meaner would have made the right less so.
Of course not, but if someone declares they're for women's rights, that merits the same careful scrutiny as if they declare they're pro-life. Both are superficially irrefutable, but when used as cover to tell women they're not women, or forcing 12yo incest victims to be mothers, *then* they're mean.
