"Got too far ahead of public opinion" my ass. The right was allowed to lie pervasively about trans people for years with barely any pushback. They were allowed to drag public opinion away from us. What little pushback there was often capitulated to right-wing framing on the subject.
... was that a drag pun? well done. ๐
I didn't even notice that when I was writing it I was so mad, lol.
I'm so mad at how feckless these people are. I can empathize with Rep. McBride not wanting her entire existence as a lawmaker to be spent on trans rights. It's exhausting having to constantly justify your existence as a trans person and I imagine doubly so as a lawmaker. But the fact of the matter is that we don't have that option. But the Democrats see the right swaying public opinion with lies and are saying "Welp, guess trans people aren't popular anymore. Time to drop trans people."
