Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

This part stuck out to me because a) yeah, gaining critical mass to normalize bigotry has been the goal of the anti-trans side the entire time and b) that's a crazy thing to say anonymously

A Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told The Sun the breakthrough for Democrats using more anti-trans language came last year, when Rob Sand, now the Democratic nominee for governor in Iowa, was asked by a conservative radio host whether he thought transgender girls belonged in girls’ sports. Sand responded with a simple “no.” The strategist said the moment immediately circulated among party political strategists.

“Rob Sand just did it, and it was fine,” the strategist said. “There’s power in numbers, and all you have to do is tell these people that you have the majority opinion. And then you can just say it.”

Why it's worth not pulling the "oh it's a different district" or "awkward joke" excuses about transphobic Dems. *Any* indulgence of transphobia is too much. We want them walking on eggshells, regarding anything that might even be perceived as anti-trans — in word or deed — as political suicide.

Queer spaces could, overall, have the best conflict resolution practices possible and there would still be occasional fallouts and angry disputes because that's reality among millions of people spread across many communities. Expecting otherwise is delusional. Kill the collaborator in your head.

My first real journalism was investigating extensive rape cover-ups at the state college I was at. A decade later a journalism start-up funded me going back to investigate another scandal over rape cover-ups that had started to hit national news. That's a small glimpse of how pervasive it is.

Abuse culture is an ideology. It is not a mistake or a personal flaw. It is an intentional agenda repeatedly, deliberately carried out, especially by those in power. Even those who disagree on other fronts will often unite to preserve it. Only inflicting consequences on a massive scale will stop it
