If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

What do you do when you've launched a moral panic about transgender athletes in the WNBA, but there has never been an active trans player in the league? Simple: you start a conspiracy theory about every single woman on the court.

There Are No Trans Women in the WNBA, so Right-Wingers Are Making Some Up
As culture warriors continue to stoke the flames of a gender panic in professional sports, wild conspiracy theories are coming into play.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

There is no such thing as separating the art from the artist when the artist is still alive and going "I am literally using every dollar spent on my art to support genocide" There is separating the artist from the artist, which *would* then allow you to actually separate the art from the artist.

Did you know Long COVID can affect children? If your child has experienced new or ongoing symptoms after having COVID-19, talk to your doctor about the possibility of Long COVID. Learn more about Long COVID: www.cdc.gov/long-covid/a...
Long COVID can last weeks, months, or years after COVID-19 infection. It can affect people of all ages and significantly impact their quality of life, even if they had no previous health conditions. 

Talk to your child’s doctor about Long COVID if they are experiencing new or ongoing symptoms after having COVID-19.

Long COVID can 
affect anyone.  The only way to be sure to avoid Long COVID is to avoid COVID-19. The best ways to prevent COVID-19 are wearing the highest quality mask available to you, staying up to date on vaccines, and maintaining clean, ventilated air indoors.

My favorite example of "DEI" is where they dismissed a highly qualified and experienced Black woman from the position of Librarian of Congress and tried to appoint Blanche. The irony of complaining about basing selection on race and gender and then replacing an expert with a white dude.

It’s not just that due process doesn’t apply to political candidates—it’s literally the opposite of the evidentiary standard for political candidates. The burden is entirely on *them* to prove to *us* that they possess the integrity and good sense to hold office.
