If Democrats could push a magic button and make this topic go away forever
they absolutley would do so. It's an absolute loser of a topic that impacts .0001% of the population.  Previous Message
A direct quote from the president last week.
Every time I ever hear about trans issues (at least when brought up by a politician) it's always a Republican making it an issue. I suppose I did see that reran Kamala Harris quote a million times from back when she was running for California AG years ago in which she said she would abide by a law regarding prison care because it's her job to enforce laws, not rewrite them, (and the law was similarly written in red states) but its certainly not an anchor platform of the party. And yet it is constantly insisted that it is.
While the Republicans meanwhile never face consequences for daily publicly making their issues with trans people the nation's priority while everything else goes to shit.
