If you want to understand the DNC's relationship with trans people you have to ask yourself why Montana, Nebraska, and Oklahoma had openly trans legislators before California and New York (which still have never had any)

I think in the big coastal states/cities, you oftem have ambitious narcissists who would otherwise be GOP in terms of policy but run as Dem cause that's the only way to get elected.
& econ/labor history of fly over country
ie A Newsom kind of guy living in Montana would simply join the Republicans cause that's where the power is?

Then let’s get back to working on ensuring that trans people enjoy all the same basic rights that everyone else does (or should).
a) it would right off the bat show they never actually cared about gender or sex or hormones or any of the stuff they claim
but also b) it would show that athletes are able to win their sports based purely on skill rather than genitals or hormones
one lonely trans girl running around a softball diamond? fuckin sucks i hate it so much
Are you kidding?
And trans men aren't men
Fascinating
Creating a separate category is just separate but equal segregation
no we fucking don’t, shut up
>say you gave them the same basic rights as everyone else
>fascists defeated, everyone claps

The evidence demonstrates otherwise.
You stupid motherfucker. The right just makes up shit to complain about.
FUCK OFF
And there’s your post: a confluence of segregationism, stupidity, malice, and the self-aggrandizing, overwhelming stench of narcissism spritzed with a dash of pseudo intellectualism, trying to disguise itself as a moral good.
You deserve a new category.
With your aim somehow Elon will be killed instead.
Today it's Trans people, tomorrow it will be all of us. Read the fucking poem.
Trans people being able to live their lives, including participating in sports, is a basic right.
so tell me: who does this REALLY benefit?
Their entire worldview is founded on petty grievance! They will ALWAYS have something to complain about! If we conceded on 99.9% of issues and gave them almost everything they wanted, they would spend all day complaining about the last 0.1%
Stop trying to compromise with fascists
That still deligitimizes transgender people and separates them from the rest of humanity.
So IDK how about shut up
"What if they are hit w a really hard volleyball serve?"
Thousands of females hit by their partners' fists, threatened w guns, emotionally abused, financially abused, actually killed by partners...*crickets*
“Separate but Equal”… if you know anything about history, you know why that idea is wrong.
Yes, the Grievance Brigade will surely run out of grievances this time
Divvy up sports by weight class or some other metric that actually affects performance instead of giving in to arbitrary segregation
Even ignoring trans people, there's significant overlap between the abilities of cis men & women, this categorization is archaic
There are 190,000 Division 1 athletes in the NCAA any given year. Since 2015, 12 of them have been trans some of whom transitioned after competing. Expanding to all divisions increases that to 36 out of 520,000.
most progressive liberal

They only know how to beat progressive challengers in primaries, and they only care about winning those primaries
But the DNC chair is from MN...
In a way I’m happy I was right about him.

Republicans have used sports very successfully to isolate trans people.
