When asked at a campaign stop by a college student about GAC, MI Senate Candidate El-Sayed replied "The decision ought to be between a patient and their doctor." Every Dem should memorize that simple soundbite.

"The Decision Ought To Be Between A Patient And Their Doctor," Says Michigan Senate Candidate El-Sayed On Trans Care
Even conservatives “agree that the decision about healthcare ought to be between a person and their provider,” El-Sayed said.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

In 2021, there were roughly 101 gender clinics offering care to transgender youth offering a full range of gender affirming care.
By July 2026, there are only about 31 left that still prescribe hormones and puberty blockers.

A trans ban came to rugby. Baltimore’s Ferals played on.
In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing with other women at all levels. Something interesting happened: Many teams refused to listen.

Democrats must avoid abandoning trans people because in a true democracy we respect the civil rights of ALL individuals.
We don't punch down on marginalized classes in pursuit of the bigot vote.
We don't throw fragile demographics under the bus because it makes us look more "electable".

Too often the advisors of/for these candidates are of the play it safe variety rather than "go for it" in stating their positions. Personally I prefer a candidate who is bold in support of their constituency. While I do care about winning, it is my opinion that's all some care about away too often.
