    1. learn to walk and chew gum
    2. it’s not supposed to be proportional to the “real” issues, it’s proportional to the political violence used against them.
    3. trans issues are real issues, because trans rights are human rights. and they’re under attack.

    why do you think they always pick minorities to attack? first they come for a tiny minority, so apathetic dickwads don’t speak up because they’re not part of that minority. wonder where i heard that before.

      I agree with you both. I wish we would stop hearing about them because trans rights were no longer under attack.

        trans rights are no longer under attack.

        Yes they are, you’ve just stopped hearing about it because the Democrats mostly stopped playing defense for them. Turns out a tiny minority has a very small voice when it isn’t being amplified by people with access to power and privilege. It’s similar to the way Democrats now support right-wing border policy despite paying lip service to leftist ideas about the border and immigration. It’s just another cause the Democrats cynically co-opted until it was no longer convenient.

          Did you miss the “I wish” part. Jesus, settle down keyboard warrior.

            I misread your comment, that’s my mistake. I thought you were saying that trans rights no longer being under attack is why you wish you would stop hearing about them.

              I edited the “are” to “were.” Hope that helps the misunderstanding of my comment.

          ANOTHER ONE that can’t fucking read? 🙄

          Note the, “I wish” part

          I edited “are” to “were.” I don’t know if that will help or not.
