"Transgender people"
Republicans are much too focused on the first word in this descriptor to even notice the second one: PEOPLE.
Societies collapse when entire groups of people are ostracized, demonized, & stripped of their very humanity.
Trump's effort to eradicate transgender people:
1. sought to bar transgender people from serving in the military
2. challenged civil rights protections for trans people in the ACA
3. narrowly defining gender to roll back recognition and protection in govt programs

@marceelias The most offensive thing about Pete's yammering is the term "real Americans". Are the Cons pivoting away from the label "patriot" because of all the "patriots" who desecrated the Capitol on January 6?
