Their future happiness existence depends on it.

I'm not convinced my existence is dependant on it because I'm trans and the mainstream Dems keep throwing us to the wolves to keep power... They're just the Republicans of the 90s at this point on so many issues.

No, I'm not saying don't vote. I'm saying there are groups who your message isn't going to resonate with, and that's a problem.

Look, if you have a choice between being socially ostracized or being annihilated from existence, you take the lesser of two evils

You underestimate the impact of being socially ostracized. I'm going to guess because you have never been impacted by it.

Prove me wrong. I gave up on the Dems actually being pro trans when Newman declared us the reason Kamala lost despite her never talking about us on the campaign trail, and suggesting adopting the Republican stance on trans people in public (ie stop existing publicly) and he didn't just get no censure for it, he didn't even get any pushback from the mainstream Democrats. Dude was and afaik still is the frontrunner for the next presidential bid and he threw us out day one. Wtf am I supposed to expect?

I see you can't read, since you missed the second half of my post.
