At a certain point, we have to accept that liberal elites see anti-trans pushback as something we reasonably need to “hear out” is because they also think our existence is something up for debate. Because it also makes them uncomfortable! They see anti trans attacks as “effective” because they agree

Some percentage of the dems making these white flag waving concessions are just over thinking it / dumb / lost etc But some of them actually just do think trans people are icky! Like maybe they’re folding because they agree our rights are some sort of luxury or progressive over-reach

if a project with multiple fronts is working, someone smarter than me will get to a solution other than “here’s how to tread water in a hurricane” + who gets us there. pretty please: if you have democratic reps, call often. use sticks & carrots. you’re also fighting consultants & press narratives.

“they’ll eventually cave.” who cares. every day someone who needs an abortion can get one is a win. every day an immigrant lives in peace is a win. every day a trans person can get meds or play field hockey or pee in public is a win. every kid whose library still has books on civil rights is a win.

“call your reps” is not enough for the moment. *but* if you give a shit about anyone at risk—immigrants, people of color, trans people, cis women—they need every vestige of institutional support left to hold up as long as possible. you sustain that through electeds not letting it be dismantled.

another reason i’d say, however tedious, it’s worth putting your dem reps into your contacts list & calling (or dropping local offices) often. it’s harder for carvilles & the press to say, “dem voters think they’re too left” if every rep has realtime data saying, “that’s *not* what my voters think.”

1) Trans people are less than 1% of the population. In any given jurisdiction you’d have 1 trans athlete competing against…who exactly? 2) “Basic rights” include the ability to participate in public life like playing sports or using locker rooms 3) The right has completely fabricated this “problem”

last guess was that there are ~4 million trans people in the US. there should be more. there aren’t more because a lot of trans people are dead. there will be many more dead trans people before this is over unless a lot of cis folks quit saying “this is a distraction” & decide to stand with us.

it matters that the TX bill probably won’t pass. that’s good! it also matters that this is being pitched & it won’t cost anyone anything. that’s real real bad! it was never about sports or peeing. this is normal conversation now. look at what one bathroom bill cost them then.
from wikipedia:

HB2 was met with widespread protests: state, county and city governments across the United States forbade their employees from non-essential travel to North Carolina; numerous corporations and firms curbed plans to hold events and create jobs in the state, and many performers canceled performances in North Carolina to boycott the state; North Carolina's economy lost over $400 million in investments and jobs. The bill was also criticized by several religious organizations, and President Barack Obama denounced it and called for its repeal. McCrory ultimately lost his bid for re-election in 2016 to Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper, a vocal critic of the law.

For those claiming a warrant was obtained before this obscene abuse of power — the son is disputing those claims and when the family attempted to get more information, ICE sent them info on a totally different man.
Garcia said an ICE agent told him he left the warrant in the house after his father was arrested but Garcia said they did not find it.
He said his father called about an hour after he was taken into custody from an ICE detention center in Phoenix and said ICE officers showed him a picture of a man with the name Alfonso but it was not him.
