There Is No Difference...

How many times have we heard that from trans people who didn't vote. Do they still feel that way?

Buttigieg: Approach to transgender rights ‘starts with compassion’ 

The Hill

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Democrats should approach transgender rights, including eligibility requirements for trans athletes, “with compassion” during an interview aired early Monday with NPR’s “Morning Edition.” 

Buttigieg, who confirmed in May that he is weighing a bid for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination after passing on a Senate run in Michigan, was asked about his messaging on transgender rights in response to remarks from former Obama White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel that diminished trans identities.

Emanuel, a Democrat and former Chicago mayor, has also said he is considering a 2028 presidential bid. 

“Your approach starts with compassion — compassion for transgender people, compassion for families, especially young people who are going through this, and also empathy for people who are not sure what all of this means for them,” Buttigieg, who ran unsuccessfully for the 2020 Democratic nomination, told host Steve Inskeep on Monday.

Do you really think that the Republican's have compassionate bone in their body? In Democrat control states they passed a bills...

• In Washington, HB 1971 expands access to prescription hormone therapy by hospitals and health systems.
• In Michigan, in late January 2025, Michigan enacted legislation expanding its hate-crime statutes to explicitly include gender identity and expression
• In Delaware, Governor Matt Meyer signed an executive order designating Delaware as a "sanctuary state" for gender-affirming care, protecting both patients and providers from punitive action by other states.
• In Massachusetts, in July 2025, Massachusetts lawmakers moved ahead with legislation to codify protections for gender-affirming care and related patient privacy rights.
• In Colorado, the Kelly Loving Act (HB 25‑1312): Expands the Colorado Anti‑Discrimination Act to include protections based on gender identity, mandates respectful use of chosen names and pronouns, removes court order requirements for gender marker updates if previously changed documents exist, and prohibits enforcement of out‑of‑state restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors. Signed into law.
• In California, Senate Bill 59 (“Transgender Privacy Act”): Introduced in January 2025, it extends court records confidentiality (including name/gender changes) to adults, retroactive, building on earlier protection for minors. Still moving through the legislature; not yet law as of now.
• In Connecticut, we passed House Bill 6913, titled “An Act Prohibiting Long‑Term Care Facilities from Discriminating Against Long‑Term Care Facility Residents”, was passed by the Connecticut General Assembly.

But, but...

According to Trans Legislation Tracker,  953 introduced bills represent an unprecedented volume in a single year and 120 bills were signed into law.

So don't give me this crap about both parties being the are the same! One is helping us and one s trying to kill us!
