The Democrats’ position on trans rights is not demonstrably different from 2016. There were trans youth. Trans people played sports. Trans people used the bathroom.

I haven't heard anybody blame trans folx. I've only heard blame for the never Harris people and the people who sat out.

shannonmck.bsky.social•109 days ago

There's been a few Democrats that feel that the Harris campaign was "too supportive" of trans rights when basically all they did was say "yeah, they exist". And that future Democratic nominees should be as frothing at the mouth transphobic as the GOP

It appears a blocked account is also here.

shannonmck.bsky.social•109 days ago

Another one? I swear I spend half my time blocking those nitwits. Why on Earth do they think we owe them a debate??

sirswizzlestick.bsky.social•109 days ago

Ive been gathering them and putting them on my blocklist. They really and truly cannot go a day without trying to bully or just be plain mean. It's both incredibly infuriating and very sad that this is how they react. Even after "winning"

shannonmck.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yeah, just reported a batch of their posts and blocked them as well.

sirswizzlestick.bsky.social•109 days ago

No fucking way. That's...actually insane. Can you cite this?

This feels like a psyop. What fucking timeline am I in? Jesus christ.
Thank you for citing.

Lots of people blame the fact that democrats are "too woke" and "pushing trans rights too hard" etc when we're sitting here like...when did they push trans rights exactly? When Harris refused to confirm that she would fight to allow trans people access to healthcare?

sirswizzlestick.bsky.social•109 days ago

Honestly that sounds like a take from people who are chronically online or the newsmax crowd who have been propagandized. I don't think anybody IRL has said either thing but I could be wrong! It's wild that point is a talking point because it's not based in any reality.

nonbearnarygirl.bsky.social•109 days ago

People in this comment thread have already linked to articles of people saying it

sirswizzlestick.bsky.social•109 days ago

My second point was that those arguments just aren't based in reality. Anybody who uses "woke" IMHO is not conversing in good faith and is likely propagandized. There's no reasoning with them and listening to what they say is a waste of time imho
