    One side is milquetoast liberals and the other is christofascists who will be gunning trans people and their allies down in the street like rabid dogs.

    I’m sorry you find it such a difficult choice.

      Milquetoast liberals mean nothing will ever get better for trans people regardless of the side that wins and continuing to vote for either one of these parties just ensures both of them retain power and things stay the same for yet another election cycle. People are gunning down trans people and their allies in the streets right now. If Biden winning in 2020 didn’t stop it, how does him winning in 2024 stop it?

        It has gotten better for trans people.

        Even 15 years ago teenagers in the west coast of all places would be told by their loved ones that if they were trans they would be cursing themselves to a life of prostitution.

        I like to think about how far the trans community has gone and I don’t want to see them go back to square one because you are having a temper tantrum.

          Meanwhile numerous laws are passing banning conversion therapy, banning bathroom usage, banning birth certificate changes, banning public displays, banning books, and banning sports participation and you think this means things are getting better?

          You just claimed we’re potentially months away from people openly hunting trans people in the streets and you think that’s better than how things were 15 years ago? Open your eyes.

            And you are sitting on the sidelines in horror telling us you won’t even vote against the anti trans agenda.

            I wish everybody had your privilege.

              Where did I say I won’t vote against the anti-trans agenda? You seem to want to maintain the anti-trans agenda by keeping these two parties in power, which is why you completely glossed over my previous comment and continue to ignore the increased suffering this group of people is currently facing.

              Burying your head in the sand by voting to keep things the same while scolding those who want change is quite the viewpoint to hold…

                No, I don’t seem to want that, you ware pretending I seem to want that because your argument only exists if you choose to believe that.

                  Hey, I just used your own words against you. You stated we’re on the cusp of people being hunted in the streets while also claiming that things are better for these people than they were in the past.

                    No, you didn’t use my words against me. You used the words you wanted me to say against me. There is a difference.

                    If you are going to pretend that none of this progress over the last 30 years happened that is fine, but i’m not interested in trying to have a dialog with a person acting in bad faith.
