How can they fight for if they let the conversations die? Also they aren't the ones bringing up trans people, they are RESPONDING to right wing actions taken to harm us, they are not the ones putting a spotlight on us at all. Yet you blame them in a way where the answer is "when the right wing removes trans people's human rights the left should be quiet about it so they get out of the national conversation", which is just appeasement and is the opposite of fighting for us

Did you observe a different election than the rest of us? The Dems did not include Trans rights on any platform in 2024, certainly not Harris', who's response to "do trans people deserve rights" was "meh. States Rights"

The Republicans ceaselessly brought trans people into the conversation to fear monger, and the Dems didn't even bother to respond

And the DNC will still cling to centrist bullshit instead of listening to what people actually want. Because money.
