Democrats keep asking trans people for money. We’re asking for a backbone (www.advocate.com)

Republicans need trans people as an enemy, having already spent more than $60 million on anti-trans ads in 2026. Without us, they lose a scapegoat to distract from affordability, health care, and the war with Iran. They claim trans people aren’t real, yet blame us for America’s problems.

Democrats who accept that premise also accept the idea that trans people are a liability to be managed rather than members of the majority they need. Democrats should offer voters something to believe in. Defeating authoritarianism requires a coalition committed to caring for one another

Voting to fund them is different than voting to defund them when it has a chance of passing. Who knows what shady back room deal their vote bought their constituents.

Dont miss my meaning. They're Evil either way
