This part right here in Moulton's latest NYT article really makes me think he's not serious about being "tricked" into transphobia, despite what he said in the Rolling Stone piece yesterday.
I don't agree. If we need to win, we can't have knee jerk reactions to pronoun use or disuse. There are huge rights on the table now in jeopardy: voting, healthcare, the environment. It doesn't have to be a litmus test for how blue you are.
I would like to see a broader coalition around clean air and water, education, and acceptance. Later on in the article he reported on the value of high-lighting the 7 year old who just wanted to play sports, but wasn't allowed because of her birth gender. Acceptance can come in smaller steps.
we're way beyond the rhetorical attacks of 2020 and 2021 from Republicans
every Republican controlled state legislature throughout the United States has passed laws explicitly designed to exterminate transgender people; does moulton consider that a problem which regular Americans face
Moulton rushes to the press to say he's so scared about his daughters playing sports among transgender people
does Moulton think transgender people in 50% of the country are worried about being exterminated and being the repeated targets of overt nazi propaganda tactics
Listing pronouns! Oh no! Is there a single bare fucking minimum token thing someone could do that burns fewer calories than that?! But no, bridge too far! We ask the impossible!
Major “If that rude Dr. King and his rowdy band of Civil Rights activists would just stop doing those disruptive sit-ins and marches and politely sat where we never had to see or hear them, then maybe they’d win over white hearts and minds!” energy.
I suppose Michelle Goldberg thought she was being helpful, but I find the whole "women’s-only spaces" about bathrooms just specious.I've been a cis gender woman for a long time and never considered women's rest rooms sacred spots. I feel like it's being used to cover some other bigoted resentment.
The main thing I remember about Moulton is how, when he first ran, he was so creepy in an interview with Rachel Maddow that she was visibly squicked out by him
Go back to womb factory settings.. is that their goal? we start out our lives living in drag as our "assigned" gender role until we fight our way out of that which others decided for us. They say you are the gender you’re born as. YES that’s true.. my brain was born THIS gender.
Rowling! 🤣🤣🤣
She who is ‘outraged’ that Annesty International are standing up in Supreme Court to try and preserve existing trans human rights in the U.K.
Not new ones, just existing ones…

This drove Harper Tobin off, and she's been MIA for years now.
And this new director seems absolutely absurd.
"not-so-subtle" while they've specifically targeted her by name every single day in every paper and news channel
like, that's just indistinguishable from all the republicans who got mad over being called weird!
every Republican controlled state legislature throughout the United States has passed laws explicitly designed to exterminate transgender people; does moulton consider that a problem which regular Americans face
why exactly do you think moulton is focused on the latter; has Moulton once mentioned the laws being passed by every R controlled legislature?
does Moulton think transgender people in 50% of the country are worried about being exterminated and being the repeated targets of overt nazi propaganda tactics
obviously that's a far, far bigger problem than bathroom laws, pronoun usage, etc
why do you think moulton rushes to the press to whine about pronouns instead of talking about what Republican politicians have done
JFC I must have missed the laws that were passed mandating fines and prison for missing pronouns in emails.
typical blue state Republican who just lies and puts the D) next to their name

And a case that she contributed £70,000 towards.
