13. Indeed, she did what critics say she should do. She backed away from lefty woke things like trans rights.

And it didn’t matter.

3. By focusing on things that Trump said she said, rather than on things she said, critics are missing the lesson from the 2024 election – that her policies were not the determining factor in her defeat.

2. So Democratic Party critics are basing their criticism not on what Harris said but on what Trump said she said, as they are accepting as true the allegations of the president-elect against the vice president.

1. It takes time for things to stick properly, so please bear with me while I say again that Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of things she said. She lost because of things Donald Trump said she said.

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women

@kimster182 @MarineNamedToby Why did this impact your day at all? Are you really that invested in some stranger staying repressed and miserable because you find them hotter as a dude?

[Strange space @Plaidteacup]

@Commenter51 @MarineNamedToby People don't transition to become conventionally attractive. Most of us know we'll be seen as less attractive because society isn't kind of trans people. But there are more important things than being hot

I genuinely have no idea if this is “the right” strategy, but people being cruel to Congresswoman McBride because they don’t think she stood up to Congresswoman Mace being cruel to her “in the right way” are just awful

[onion person @CantEverDie]

i don’t even think this much about being transgender

[Strange space @Plaidteacup]

@atrupar The right went hard on anti trans attack ads, but the left didn't mention it much at all. So it's not surprising that polls look like this when no counter argument was given.

Unfortunately many Dems seem to have decided to run from trans issues instead

@BlondeMAGAinNJ @justcuuper Stalls are private. If you want better stall doors just install that ffs, this is such an easy problem to solve

@nahmiasarik @mushycrouton @NessNag @lnmackenzie1 @ForWomenScot Gasp! Not people wearing clothing that was arbitrary categorized as being for a different sex. The horror!!

Seriously though y'all, who gives a fuck?

@CelesteLaverty @Ancommiey Carrying a gun is a great way to get shot. By police, an attacker acting in self defense, etc. best case scenario you end up in jail

@ArdentRoger @MadisonRaeGun You are insane if you don't think men are violent towards trans women

[Strange space @Plaidteacup]

@tx_pros @MadisonRaeGun There are a lot of people who violently hate trans people, and using the men's bathroom would out them and make them targets for that violence.

A trans woman using the women's bathroom is just a girl peeing behind a closed door. Sharing a sink with a trans woman isn't a threat

@ChuffPuff123 @KrangTNelson @fwjackets My boundaries are not having my genitals inspected to use a restroom. This doesn't make women safer at all. So many women and girls are going to be harassed in the name of this stupid policy

This whole thing should be a non-issue, we just need stall doors with decent privacy

[Strange space @Plaidteacup]

@fwjackets @KrangTNelson Researchers at Cornell reviewed all English language studies on gender affirming care and mental well being from 1991-2017. 93% of them found transitioning improves the mental well being of trans people (none showed harm)

@EricFactz @SockDemFan @KrangTNelson @CantEverDie There are drag events at retirement homes lol. I've been to one. Was a blast

Rep Leigh Finke, the first openly trans member of the MN Legislature: "I do not agree with the decision to comply with Speaker Johnson’s House rules. I also do not know what Sarah [McBride] is seeing, what she is hearing, what the extremists that she must call her colleagues are gearing up to do. As a result, I will not judge her decision. I will support her, send her love, and help her survive to continue her work in any way I can."

[Strange space @Plaidteacup]

@diskursgeist Its really sad. The viciousness I'm seeing directed at her from trans people is so much more intense than is being directed at Nancy Mace. Meanwhile, the right also is just tearing into Sarah. You can't win as a trans public figure
