Ah yes, this is about "imperfect candidates" and not about normalizing things like transphobia across the entire mainstream US political spectrum that centrist consultants are trying to push. 🤡

How difficult is it to understand that as soon you signal it's acceptable for these bigoted "imperfect" candidates to exist, you're only making things worse for the people you claim to support. Labour in the UK is a perfect example of what happens when people follow your dog shit strategy. Being pro-trans is now considered an unpopular niche position within that party, and trans people have only lost more rights as a result. So fuck you.

    Trump is literally leading the charge against trans folks....

    Idk how you can't see that letting the Republicans win will lead to them in camps.

    My sister is trans and it's actually important to me. I hate folks that just let the fascists win, like fucking try and vote. Jesus

    your sister is trans and you’re going online to tell trans people they have to vote for people who want them in men’s prisons? ok

    do you think the “men in women’s sports” issue goes away if we vote bloo?

    You could've just admitted to being a transphobe and saved us the trouble. Its so funny how you call John Fetterman a "democrat in name only" and say this shit? Typical "ally" you really think you somehow are different from him. Who the fuck gave you permisson to sell some of your "sister's" rights away so your team can win? You are the one that seems to think this some kinda game you can play real lives fuck off with your cowardly tailist bullshit. Here is your so called " realistic socialist" darling AOC calling people like you out for being losers.

    Heres a perpective on your "adults in room" bullshit from some other trans people who do no wish to be your sacrifical lamb you can pretend to read.

    People like you are what drives allies away from the trans community. Shame on you.

    I'm a huge ally, but I am realistic. Try it sometime. It helps achieve goals

    I can't be bothered right now to change the color of the cap to blue or edit the text, but your university education should be enough to figure out the parallels.

    You arent an ally, we don't need you, and you are not being "realistic" unless the reality your willing to accept is a MAGA one you passive transphobe. I predicted in my comment that you would just ingore my links and look even siller. Now I will try this again. Explain to me why both AOC and Lenin are wrong about how your cowardly stratedgy of pre-emptive retreats and assuming the working class is and can be nothing more then a group of uneducated white republicans with hard hats is doomed to failure both practically and morally.

    If you really are an "ally" and care so much about the sister you defintely have this shouldn't be hard for you.

    What an asshole. So you don't think your trans woman sister should be allowed in women's spaces? What a fucking dickhead. Letting nazi fearmongering win over seeing your sister as an actual woman.

    And the science doesn't agree with you. Trans women are women and are often at a disadvantage against ciswomen because they have less testosterone or straight-up not going through puberty because they're on blockers. The Olympics has allowed trans people to compete as their gender for decades and not once has it resulted in trans people gaining unfair advantages. IIRC there has only been two trans people to win medals out of the dozens who have competed and neither of them won gold.

    You are a liberal transphobe, the exact type of person the OP was criticizing.

    Color me surprised that the lib who calls themselves an "ally" and tells you to vote for transphobic Democrats, has no problem repeating the same nonsensical transphobic talking points. 🤡 Every goddamn time.

    This is why liberals get the wall too.

    In 2021, Hilton and Swedish physiologist Tommy R. Lundberg published what the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport called “an argumentative essay in the form of original scientific research.”

    I guess you didn't even read the article they published, it's not even my field of medicine and I can still tell it's complete slop.

    It never takes long to rile a transphobe up enough to get them to trot this talking point out, does it?

    Women's sports leagues aren't spaces for women?

    Trans women's T levels are typically lower then cis women's.

    unfair advantages

    women with PCOS? Rich women? It ultimately doesn't matter even if it was an advantage, I would contend it isn't, there are lots of factors that are advantageous in sports. Trans women are women and should be in women's leagues. For the simple fact they are women.

    Did you read anything I said?? It's people like you who are aiding fascists by signaling that it's acceptable to use the same fascist rhetoric to garner votes even if you have a (D) next to your name. That your sister is trans doesn't change the fact that you're actively ignoring this simple basic concept. It actually makes it worse.

    Imagine coming on here, a site full of trans people, and telling us that we should support a candidate who literally advocates for ending federal funding for gender affirming care, which would kill a lot of people, just because they're a fucking Democrat. And then you have the audacity to talk about camps.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    You don't understand, with Democrats the trains to the camps will be built with Union labor, and all the guards will come from minority-majority communities. If you don't do understand how that is better you are just a Russian bot.

    The Democratic party doesn't have the political Capital to recognize you as a person yet, give them the House, the Senate, and the Presidency for the next five election cycles, and maybe they'll be able to pass something that keeps white trans people who make over $250k/yr out of the camps, by 2040.

    So you would rather let the person that actively wants to kill trans people win over the one that doesn't allow care but wouldn't actively hunt them down?

    I'd rather the person that won't hunt my sister down win, then she can stay in a good state like California and get the care she needs.

    It just makes sense. Use your noggin
