This is why Dems better wake the f*ck up about how they talk about trans issues. To say this is not a good faith discussion is the biggest understatement ever.

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

This is disgusting--only the ODP would see what looks to be a Democrat wave in November and be craven enough to start picking on trans-Ohians. This should enrage every Democrat of conscience.
