The right wants to legislate transgender people out of existence, and, for all the shortcomings of Democrats on trans issues, it’s imperative we vote to stop them.
it’s a matter of fighting the laws based on the fact that they’re infringing on medical rights in general, not because they’re targeting us.
Realistically, I think the reason republican strategists chose to pursue these laws was less out of pure bigotry and more because it lets them set precedents regarding the rights of state governments to insert them selves in personal medical affairs.
If anything democrats should push for legislation that strengthens people’s medical rights and frame it as being about abortion access. Framing it as about trans rights would just turn us in to a perpetual political football.
