Yeah, well, expressing concern about trans people being killed by Nazis might be a bit risky. Far easier to parrot inane policies developed by right-wing fanatics whose only goal in life is to hurt people.
This is why those from the soggy center should never be let into office. We need someone who's going to clean house, and put an end to fascism and the religious right in the US and, if possible, globally, before they round us up and kill us.
Trans sports isn't a good issue. It's the least popular of all trans issues and also is the only actual position where the Republicans have the moral high ground. Trans issues aren't good to run on anyways because only a bit over half of the country is in favor of trans rights outside of medical access and stuff. The bathroom stuff is more reasonable. You can have some fair laws around this, like people have to be on hormones for over a year or something before they can use the other bathroom. The trans sport things is unfortunate. There just isn't really a good trans friendly solution that isn't really unfair for cis students. The only way a trans person can compete fairly in women's sports is if they are on hormones for years.
