Initially, this gave me major optimism.
But…
Many right-wingers see parents as the victims. A lot of transphobia is fearing their kid/grandkid being trans. They’re being asked about the families, not the trans people themselves.
New FOX News Poll shows that a huge majority of people view "families with transgender children being targets of political attacks" as a major problem.
Only 15% of people say it's not a problem.
And this is a FOX NEWS poll!
Y'all, anti-trans politics are NOT popular.
Weird how the same people who say “don’t politicize mass shootings” to avoid talking about gun control are the same people politicizing a mass shooting to spread bigotry against trans people.
They don’t care about the kids dying. They just hate trans people. #Nashville
@SocialistMMA@KyleKulinski I spent a year volunteering for Bernie. It wasn’t a waste. It elevated progressive ideas in the public consciousness. Think about how many people are not only turned onto left ideas but understand there are more of us than we thought. That’s very valuable.
