Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.

Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.

Horrific.

What's the difference between Hispanics voting for Trump and trans people voting for this guy? Aren't they both doing the same thing? I mean this guy wants to exterminate trans people. Is a really fair to ask any trans person to vote for them? Don't you feel that's unreasonable? No matter what your other politics are you can't expect people to respond to that argument.

    And the Republican candidate for this seat has said what exactly re: trans right? Do you seriously think the GOP would be a better alternative?

    You are missing the point.

    It is simply immoral to ask someone to vote for their own destruction for your material benefit. To ask someone to vote away their human rights. To look at them and tell them that you do not care about them and their survival but that they should value yours. Thats what you are advocating.

    You can justify sacrificing the lives of Trans people if you like. However asking them to sacrifice themselves for you is simply wrong.

    And what exactly is your point? Is your point to leave that entry blank, or is it to vote Republican?

    No you actually didn’t make a point. Are you advocating that people should vote for Ashley Hinson instead? Simple yes or no.

    Another thread where you simply refuse to answer the question. Who are you advocating for? Just come out and say it.

    I’m being clear in my answer. If I lived in Iowa, and my choices were Turek or Hinson, I would vote Turek. Your turn.

    You really never read what someone writes do you? That was very clear. I would never tell a Trans person that they have to vote for their own extinction. I think thats evil. If you want to tell Trans people that they owe your their lives then be honest about it.

    I'm advocating for nobody.
