there's something both funny and encouraging about the first trans representative assuming office in the US and immediately acting as a voice of reason for her coalition while furious hardliners seethe

Rep Sarah McBride attributes the public’s perception that the Dems maintain a zealotry on trans issues to what she characterizes as loud and hostile voices online who lambaste as bigots and transphobes anyone who isn’t 100% on board. This has not gone over well on Bleuskie.

He isn’t trans. He is a dude who pretends to be a woman and demand everyone acknowledges and plays along with her mental illness. Hope this helps!

alright, you know what? we've crossed an event horizon. anti-trans pronoun cops are more annoying than trans pronoun cops at this point. using "pronouns in bio" as an own is more annoying than putting pronouns in bio. the anti-cops have become the cops. it's a new world.

honestly from a realpolitik perspective nothing would help trans people more than one visible trans person just pissing off the activists and ceding ground on the 10% least popular parts of the activist demands

The thing about being a real, actual, elected politician is that you have to have a more realistic model of how to get votes & get people to agree with you than if you're just a random lefty shitposter.

Kudos to her for trying to find a path forward. But this monster has been nurtured with a specific rhetoric. You can't walk back fundamental human rights and support genocide, can you? Lol, you totally can. But the people invested in this won't go peacefully into the night.

It’s beautiful that the first trans representative is a giganormie Biden protégée from Delaware. I dare to dream of a future where Americans of all genders can go to coworker axe-throwing and work from laptops with “no talk I angy” chibi stickers.

Very glad to see Sarah be so level headed and reasonable. We need more people like her in the party. We also need something new to center on tho bc culture war ain't winning it

I am calling for the ban of the word “genocide,” it's getting outta hand.

She doesn’t actually disagree with them on anything, she just thinks they should be quite (for now). She’s won’t say that Trans women shouldn’t compete in sports, she just thinks they shouldn’t talk about it.

Her conversation with Ezra Klein greatly impressed me. I hope she is able to hold the line and doesn't cave to these kinds of attacks (I imagine its difficult), and perhaps by so doing, she can become a pole for other like-minded people to gravitate to.

@ExactlyBackward
the trans* politician is trying to convert people about the rightness of their cause instead of being furious about their cause being innately righteous and the lumpen not immediately accepting the premise? of course the truly righteous demand holy war against the infidels

While this is nice to hear, unfortunately, our family ran into trouble with my oldest daughter's 4th grade class, where a boy decided to become a girl, and used that privilege to bully my daughter and others. The anger is sometimes justified
