Replace the word "transgender" with the word "black" in your article, and get back to us.

Here, read these. I am a trans woman. These two are trans women. Maybe... we know what we're talking about in relation to our rights better than you do: juliaserano.substack.com/p/on-democra... www.erininthemorning.com/p/the-guide-...

and more importantly: a response to all the cis people responding to the way that trans people are responding to said Democrats’ responses

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So you're all for Dems going the way of the fascists on trans rights. Telling them it's ok to misgender your kid. That the official stance of Demos should be that your kid is a "biological male/female" and therefore not *really* who he or she says they are. Got it. Nice parenting.

Teaching Democrats that abandoning trans rights is without consequence from their base has the potential for far greater harm than any single race.

Hi! "Transgender" is an adjective, not a noun. Helpfully yours :)

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Since everything and everyone is already on the table and at risk of loss when one comes out and/or transitions, it doesn't seem an outrageous thing to consider.

Democratic "Centrists" when a "blue wave" wins: "Sure, gestapo in the streets, gas prices, measles, buying groceries.... all that bad stuff was, ya know...just the backdrop. That didn't sway any voters. No no no. It was you guys following our advice to throw trans people under the bus! Hire us!"

@equality.house.gov It is clear that for this bunch, equality means equality for CIS people and not TRANS people. And folks... that is NOT equality. Democratic Party, Equality caucus, found your new mascot:

You ARE a terf, you fucking loon. All trans women are women. Your dumb ass statement is equivalent to saying: "Women are women. Black women are black women." Are you hearing yourself?

Bluesky Warning: It is accepted digital age truth that, no matter what else one believes about them, trans women, honed by decades of internet warfare with the worst people on the planet, are considered the most skilled and deadly shitposters in existence. Do not engage.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

As trans people have been proving for decades now, every attempt to attack us on this, resorts to further and further indefensible positions... moving the goalposts such that EVERY woman, cis or trans, must ultimately be removed from the definition bigots will resort to as the previous one fails.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Dear fascist fucks: Regardless of how you try, you will never be able to create a legally, factually defensible definition of "Biological sex" that does not include trans people's actual, self-identified gender, AS that sex. I AM a biological woman, and can easily defend this statement as fact.

They don't seem so concerned with parental rights when it's a parent who loves and supports their trans child and wants them to have access to healthcare.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

@repmarcykaptur.bsky.social I am not an "ideology". Trans existence is not an "ideology". That little trans girl wanting to play sports with her friends who you outed... who you HURT with your actions? She is NOT an "ideology". Do you know what IS an ideology? Bigotry. Fascism.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

@repmarcykaptur.bsky.social has chosen the side of the bigots and fascists. This relic DOES NOT BELONG in Congress or representing anyone.

I would like @msnowreports.bsky.social @msnowcomms.bsky.social @msnowevents.bsky.social @msnownews.bsky.social to imagine having a discussion about the civil rights of black people in America, and not having ANY black people on the show or panel. Why do you think that's ok to do to trans people?

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

@jamestalarico.bsky.social in this story, James... the person being denied fairness is the trans girl being thrown out of that Circle of Us, by you, who claimed inclusivity and fairness. Have you talked WITH, LISTENED TO any trans girls? You sure are with and listening to the fascists and bigots.

Then WE KNOW (We, the otherwise Democratic voters) you don't fight for minorities, don't really uphold Democratic values, and are not really the person we want in the halls of power representing us.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Do NOT pivot off trans rights until AFTER you've STRONGLY defended them. When try to pivot before that defense, either by repeating bigoted misinformed right wing rhetoric FOR THEM...or seeming evasive because you don't really support trans rights and want to run away from us... then YOU LOSE.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

THIS is how you win, without compromising yourself in the eyes of your base, Mr. Fucking Democrat.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

At about this point... THEN you can pivot to: You all obsess over trans people while the economy is in shambles, fascist brown shirts kidnap people off the streets, measles and food borne pathogens are spreading... And that entire line of rhetorical wealth.

You: Let me ask you, you speak of parental rights. What about the rights of parents who want to support their trans kid and their right to healthcare? Do you support THOSE parental rights? Them: (b.s.) You: (interrupting) No. Of course not. Etc. Etc. Etc.

MelodyMP @melodymp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

You: Do you know what hrt is? Them:(starts bullshit) You: (interrupting) No. Of course you don't. Do you know studies, the science, shows that for trans women on hrt, not only are there no advantages, but rather athletic disadvantages? Them: (b.s.) You: (interrupting) No. Of course you don't.

What these organizations are CLEARLY telling us is that they are no longer LGBTQ+... they are only LGB. That is to say... they are institutionally transphobic organizations who just haven't admitted it yet. "Well, there's just not enough of them to matter." aka: Ethically corrupt cowards.

Erin's preface here is one I've been using. If every party abandons us, there's no future in it, and the whole thing is rotten and needs replaced. If what it takes is letting the rot reach all, it'll get replaced sooner, and there's the future for those who follow. No votes for transphobes.
