I don't give a fuck. If you consider our rights and existence worthy of sacrifice, then I believe you fully deserve whatever evil a Republican president will bring down on your head.

Hell, you're giving right in to conservative framing. You're sitting here pretending this is about sports. But that never was the issue, and you damn well know it. Conservatives don't give a fuck about women's sports. They just want to banish trans people from public life. And you're fully onboard with that project. Frankly, if we're going to the camps, I hope they burn the whole country to ashes. If Democrats elect a transphobe, I will happily sit the election out, watch Republicans win, and gleefully watch as they tear the country further to pieces. A country that won't protect its minority populations deserves to burn.

Don't want this? Then try actually earning the votes of queer people. If our numbers are too small to make our rights worth fighting for, then obviously you don't need our votes that badly. You're asking us to believe two things:

1. Trans rights are minor things that affect few people and aren't worth worrying about.

2. Trans people simply have to vote for Democrats, as their support is vitally important.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways. Our rights and our votes go together. You want our votes, you damn well better stand up for our rights. If neither party will stand up for our rights, I'll sit back, disengage from politics, and laugh as this nation collapses into dust.

Do you thinks “sports careers” are the only benefit of sports? Why are you okay with ripping children out of activities with their peers if Republicans decide it’s “controversial”?

Most trans people know how fraught even visiting a gym is, and how important protections for trans people are to even allow us to exercise the way cis people do. I don’t know any trans people that embrace Newsom’s statements or appearance on Charlie Kirk’s shows, and I highly doubt you do either.
