    No, I am saying that the Dems’ messaging is being kept broad in terms of inclusivity, because then it makes Republicans singling out transgender people or other minorities to hate on them look extra weird. It also brings the issue of transgenderism to voters for whom this is a foreign concept, in a way they can better understand.

    Many of these voters hate trans people not because they understand the issue, but because conservative organizations have told them to constantly for years so it’s made into a trigger word. The Harris campaign is showing these voters a way out from the cycle of hate, to put these divisions away, and accept trans people for the human beings they are, just like all of us, without needing to put them on a spotlight front and centre. Harris needs a large amount of these uninformed voters to support her too if she wants any hope of enacting a progressive, LGBTQ+ inclusive agenda during her term.
