Democrats seem headed for big wins, but one avenue for self-sabotage would be adopting R's framing on trans rights.

@billiejsweeney.bsky.social spoke with insiders incl Lanae Erikson of Third Way and Rep. Sarah McBride for this substanial piece of new reporting.

good. bigotry should not be rewarded.

#TransRightsAreCivilRights
Republicans in tight races are hammering Democrats on transgender policy and praying a message that worked so well in the 2024 election can save them this November.

The problem is that even if their attack is the same, a lot else has changed.
Republicans' Trans Attack Ads Aren’t Hitting the Same Way This Year
A potent 2024 message risks falling flat, with Democrats adjusting and the economy overpowering.

The Kansas Republican Party attempted to use a new state law requiring driver's license to only list sex at birth to invalidate the voter registration and candidacy of a transgender woman running against a Republican for a state House seat. They were rebuffed by the Secretary of State.

absolute idiocy by Kaptur

Holy shit.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.

"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."

This is getting out of control.

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win

I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

well fuck that guy then...

#TransRightsAreCivilRights
Josh Turek in Iowa now takes the strongest anti-trans stance of any Democrat yet.

“Josh opposes taxpayer-funded sex changes, and anyone who says otherwise is lying,” said Hannah Goss, a spokeswoman for the Turek campaign.

This would include Medicaid and adult care.

while this may be true, i don't wish her any luck whatsoever

#TransRightsAreCivilRights
I wish Sophie Cunningham luck with the soft launch of her post-WNBA RW influencer career. There's money to be made. Like everyone, she has a right to express her opinions. But implying trans people pose a danger to children is quite sick and refuted by data that cis men pose exponentially more risk.

louder in the back so all the bigots hear it:

"Major U.S. medical groups say that puberty blockers and sex hormones are safe and can be effective for transgender young people."

To the trans community in the wake of this SCOTUS decision:

This is not the end of the fight. It is only the beginning.

This ruling will tear kids away from their teams and the sports they love. But it cannot tear us from each other.

Together, we will fight and we will win.

“I don’t think they want their daughters to be surveilled in school and have to have incredibly invasive examinations of their private parts to determine whether or not they’re women,” Rep. Jayapal told me. “That’s the only way that these policies get implemented.”

With funding from anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-marriage equality billionaire Richard Uihlein, Protect Girls Sports in Maine collects enough signatures for a sports+bathroom ban on Nov ballot. ME is 2nd blue state after WA to use this tactic.

The ballot initiative is bankrolled by billionaire anti-trans donor, Richard Uihlein, and represents a new line of attack against transgender people in blue states.

all these monsters are vile - esp. stupid fuckin elon
You can explain a lot of the shift towards blatant transphobia by the centrist political class from them remaining on Twitter after Elon bought it. It's one of his singular missions to destroy the trans community to get back at his daughter Vivian.
