It's not about being anti trans, it never was.

It's about being practical in the real world. Trans people rights are people rights are human rights, everyone should have the same rights.

However, Making this your primary issue will get you some voters but turn away more voters that you need to get elected. You can't help anyone if you don't get elected

These 'x issues are dividing the working class' lines is just trickle-down economics with race/ gender/ orientation etc.

I am so sick and tired about hearing about trans issues. Outrageously disproportionate to the real issues we need to focus on.

Yeah it's funny being told by leftwing media darlings that they're so much more in touch with working people than me, I'd love to see that satirical content creator come and live my life with me for a week then see if he still feels smug enough to say that.

It's a wedge issue designed to avoid talking about things that will actually help people, including trans people, to live decent lives. The left loves an excuse to call people bigots, racists, and whatever type of monster means that they can avoid actual meaningful change.
