In reply to the discussion: What Democrats Are Getting Wrong About Transgender Rights [View all]Ilikepurple
(493 posts)Every response I could think of would have just made it a bigger campaign issue amongst a not very tolerant populace. If you have an idea, I seriously think you should share as any way that respects trans rights while making this issue less troublesome for Democratic Party would be welcomed by many.
The GOP controlled the narrative on a lot of issues that affected the vote. Why not rail on about inflation, the economy, and crime? I have a hard time believing the focus by many on this as the major issue facing the Democratic Party is just a litmus test of how comfortable people are with trans issues. At the very least, I think people underestimate the amount of bigotry that a response would have to assuage. It was a somewhat brilliant attack. It put gender identity, race, immigration, and crime all into one simple message. I think the more important issue is how we claw back some of the resources used to spread messages.
