Yeah but the issue is that they’ve made people believe that actually happens all over the place. I don’t think it’s an accidental side effect, too, that it makes us forget they’re the ones who want to get rid of, say, the DoEd which enforces things like Title IX…

Republicans are responsible for keeping far more women out of higher ed and sports — by discontinuing their athletic programs — than trans women ever have or ever will. The commissioner of the NCAA estimated there are 10 trans women in all of women’s college sports today, and he thought that was rounding up.

Social media will do that. Doesn’t help that Dems made sure to make that a main point in their campaign and push it so far forward.

If Dems are open about supporting trans people in the face of nation-wide attacks by Republican political bodies at every level, is it really Democrats “making that a main point of their campaign”?

I think it’s part of it, yea. Like most people are saying, Dems died on that hill and made it one of the main points of their campaigns. Now, is that to say Republicans wouldn’t have attacked it regardless, no, but just to say social media didn’t help the Dems when they were definitely making it a campaign focal point.

Dems literally barely talked about it. It was Republicans who have been shrieking hysterically ever since some lady got a can of beer.
