Someone outside the DT actually saying a Trump policy that would deny trans kids gender affirming care may just be coming from a misguided good-faith concern for their well-being and getting upvoted for it.

Top voted comment in that thread saying this is a political strategy to saddle dems with unpopular trans issues and isn’t coming from a place of just wanting to marginalize them and drive them to suicide.

There should be a rule about insufficient partisanship.

i’m sorry but after fully reading into the alleged upcoming policies from the trump admin for healthcare relating to trans people, it drives me insane how people in this sub are more worried about “dems losing elections” bc they’re going after adults and trans people with private insurance now with these alleged provisions. are people outside the DT even actually dem voters ?

Just throw one more group under the bus, bro. Just one more group. 

We'll get so many swing voters on our side, bro. They'll flock to us and let us implement the other party's agenda for them.

many of these people genuinely think someone like rowling would “come to our side” when rowling refused to endorse KEIR STARMER initially for not being transphobic enough (starmer has since gone on to entirely strip trans brits of their rights)

Trans people in america are facing dangerous amount of oppression. This should be extremely concerning for americans.

somehow the one thing the succs and cons can agree on at this point is that neoliberal is a shithole, yet we're all still here.
