Afraid Of Their Own Shadows

The Democrats are afraid of anything... trans.

Many Democrats looking for scapegoats as to why they lost the election look at us to place the blame upon.
While some in the party denounced the Supreme Court’s decision, other top leaders remained quiet, underscoring the party’s discomfort on the issue.

Leading Democrats offered a slow trickle of critical reaction on Wednesday to the Supreme Court’s decision upholding a state ban on some transgender care for youths, underscoring the new discomfort on the issue from a party that has long seen itself as a champion of L.G.B.T.Q. Americans.

Hours after the ruling arrived, some top Democrats like Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, had denounced the decision as part of a “cruel crusade against trans Americans.”
Thump, thump. That noise that you hear is the bus running over of us.
Even Democrats who condemned the ruling tried to turn the focus to other issues. Mr. Schumer suggested on X that Republicans were using the topic “to divert attention from ripping health care away from millions of Americans.”
BINGO!

We are the diversion from the ICE raids, we're the diversion from wrecking the government, we are the low hanging fruit where they can say "Oh... look at those trans people! If it was for them our ___fill-in the blank___ would be better!
The careful calculus reflected how the fraught topic of transgender issues has tormented Democrats for months, with Republicans putting them firmly on the back foot. Many party leaders now believe that liberal politicians took positions in recent years that deviated too far from the beliefs of the average voter.
But there is one thing that the Democrats gloss over in their blaming losing the election on us, one small thing... IT WAS THE ECONOMY! According to the Washington Post, two-thirds of voters rated the economy as “poor” or “not so good.” and voted for Trump! But we still get blamed.

The Democrats let the Republican dominate the election debate. Instead of calling them out trying to distract the voters from the real issues that the people we concerned about.

My prediction,,, on the national level they are going to back away from us. You will not see any non-discrimination bills. You will probably not see and bills nationally on trans healthcare. Hopefully we will not see any bills banning trans athlete. If the Democrats gain control of Congress you will probably see the Republicans introduce anti-trans athlete bills or anti-trans healthcare bills. The Democrats best strategy is to never let the bills see the light of day. Saying that there are more important things that need to be done.

In Connecticut the Republicans introduced dozens of anti-trans bills this session... not one of then were even heard in committee. Bills like:

HB  5125 AN ACT PROHIBITING STUDENTS WHO ARE BIOLOGICAL MALES FROM COMPETING ON FEMALE-ONLY ATHLETIC TEAMS AND
USING FEMALE-ONLY LOCKER ROOMS AND FACILITIES.

To protect women's rights by allowing only biological females to use
female locker rooms and facilities and participate on public female-
only athletic teams.

HB 5336 AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF A PARENTS' RIGHT
TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN CONSISTENT WITH THEIR
CHILDREN'S BIOLOGICAL SEX AND THE PROMOTION OF
FAIRNESS IN INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC COMPETITION.

To protect a parents' right to raise children consistent with their
biological sex and promote fairness in interscholastic athletic
competition.

HB 5898 AN ACT PROHIBITING THE AVAILABILITY OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT
MATERIAL IN PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

To prevent student access to sexually explicit material in public
school libraries.

SB 136 AN ACT PROHIBITING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF
SPECIFIC PRONOUNS.

To prevent compelled speech by prohibiting the state or any political
subdivision of the state from requiring the use of specific pronouns
Not one of these bills made to the committees! The Democrats squashed the bills and that is what is needed in Congress and if the Republicans complain? Say that we need to pass important bills like improving our infrastructure.

And here is a thought... for every anti-trans bill that the Republicans introduce... raise the billionaire tax by 5%!
