When Third Way says that Dems should hold off their anti-trans strategies, you know things are changing. The organization tends to be more centrist, and they are noticing the same thing the far-right is... the Republican anti-trans campaign cycle is NOT working this year.

A new poll from The 19th News shows faltering Republican support for gender-affirming care bans for trans youth. It also shows that anti-trans ads might be backfiring, with respondents increasingly saying Republicans are talking about trans people too much. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Democrat here, Blake Gendebien, is facing off against Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino. Constantino is literally running on "detransitioning America" and generally just hating trans people. Gendebien could've called Constantino out for being insane. Instead, he chose bigotry. Shame.

With Trump’s backing, Anthony Constantino won the primary to succeed outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik. His repeated calls to ‘detransition America’ must be a warning to us all.

These candidates will still get attacked as if they supported us In the same way they will get called “socialists” even when they’re far from it. But DSA candidates have shown you win, and win big, when you stand by actual principles. When you stand by human rights.

Democrats abandoning Trans people spells disaster. Not only does it harm countless trans people (if that wasn’t enough for you to care about it), it also affects the candidates’ chances of winning.

Whelp, this is a pretty gross ad from Brown. It would have been completely fine without the "transgender surgeries for kids are already illegal in Ohio" part. Notably, that law also bans all gender affirming care for youth, and top surgery for older teens, which sometimes is necessary.
