Disappointing that he doesn't also want to be a senator for trans people

    So disappointing considering Paxton has a strong track record as a trans ally

    Thanks for telling me, a trans person, how I should feel.

    Am I not allowed to be disappointed in a candidate? Is the only option unrestrained enthusiasm for a candidate that isn't interested in protecting my rights?

    You can be what ever you want, but trump might not be in office right now if the same thing wasn’t going on with people condemning Harris for not being anti Israel, loudly, when there were only two options left.

    So we just have to keep ceding human rights to fascists until the marginally less fascist party wins?

    In the american system, yes. Do that and pray it works out, since the only other option you have is get one of those bajillion guns and do a revolution thingy.

    Far easier to complain that the situation isn't perfect on the internet than either of those, hence their and others' constant droning on about it.

    As a bonus, it's exactly what someone trying to ruin our democracy would say. Funny that there's no shortage of those on the internet, a place where it's much harder to tell that you're a Russian bot.


    Edit to add:


    As the votes come in to indicate most people are misinterpreting this comment, it's now more of a writer issue than a reader issue. I'll clarify:

    The constant droning I was referring to above is the voter apathy encouraging "Democrats suck too, therefore I'm not voting for them either," not the valid complaints that Democrats aren't doing enough for trans people.

    Trans people are not Russian bots because we care about our rights being stripped or being insulted to our faces by our representatives.

    It’s gone from restrooms and sports to denying federal funding for our healthcare. Each one of these concessions to anti-trans Dems has only seen escalation in their attacks on us.

    That is absolutely not what I was saying, and I recommend you re-read it.
