Kathleen Clyde and the rest of the leadership of the Ohio Democratic Party @ohdems.bsky.social are apparently incapable of doing two things at the same time: (1) upholding our values and (2) electing our candidates. That’s the job! Chair Clyde should resign. She is a failure.

Nobody’s rights are negotiable. That includes trans folks’ rights. Kathleen Clyde and the rest of the leadership of the Ohio Democratic Party @ohdems.bsky.social are failing to uphold our values. That’s the job. If you can’t do the job, then someone else should. Chair Clyde should resign.

This is the behavior that's led tens of millions of Americans to no longer see discernable differences between major parties. It's not just about trans rights, it's about the dogma of putting party before people, and more people see through it than the major parties seem to understand.

Yet another example of what we keep telling people. This isn't a coincidence. Party leaders are supporting anti-trans triangulation as a strategy. We either push back now, hold the party accountable of this will be the 2028 strategy. Trans lives and rights aren't a bargaining chip.

This point, from my recent interview with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for TNR, is so crucial. Trans people are desperate for relief from the relentless Republican attacks impacting all of us. When Democrats move right, they signal relief may not be coming, and that engenders a lot of despair.

And so for Democrats to say, They have a point on some of this, it is engendering a lot of hopelessness and a lot of fear in the trans community, because we have been just trying to hold on, hoping that this time would end and we would be able to get back to where we were five years, six years ago. And what Democrats are signaling is, like, No, we’re going to keep things as they are, and maybe even make them worse.
