One Dem in South godforsaken Carolina cynically adopting transphobic rhetoric is not the same as the Dem Party adopting it.
The Labour Party has collectively decided to persecute trans ppl--as a unit. The Dem Party is overwhelmingly on the other side of this and has a few outliers who aren't.
And the turn into open transphobia...? Have you forgotten that?
It's amazing how easily centrists rationalise the persecution of minorities.
But you're not trans so it doesn't matter...right?
