they didn't say to shut up about it though, they specifically addressed non-voting.

The conclusion is clearly that trans people need to suck it the fuck up and vote for someone who wants them out of public life. This is effectively shutting up about it.

my bad, I guess I should've worded this better.

we have two choices:

  1. democrats win
  2. republicans win

which of those two outcomes would you rather have?

If you are approaching criticizing a Democrat before the primary this way you are not ready to talk about politics seriously.

The fact Democrats are the only path forward for trans rights is why trans people are freaking out so hard about Newsom’s turn to the right on trans rights. Like, you get those are related, right?
