And there it is. The anti-trans movement—with Jennifer Sey and Riley Gaines at the head—reveals that they've been grooming Sophie Cunningham since 2024. This is all part of their plan.
Sey: Sophie Cunningham has been liking our videos and sharing them since 2024. We've had some communication by dm which I will not reveal—it's private but I knew she was on our side. She’s the star we needed to put this at the center of the cultural conversation. We deserve to win this and we deserve it now.

Seth Moulton threw trans kids under the bus and blamed them for the 2024 election. These kids are vulnerable and deserve love—not to be scapegoated for the failures of the Democratic party. I will never stop fighting to protect trans kids.
