The only thing worse than Democratic candidates throwing trans people under the bus are progressive voters who hand victory to the fascists because of purity politics bullshit.
I’d rather Democrats take my rights away than let fascists burn the world to the ground. For fucks sake, some things are more important. Have some goddamn perspective.
Besides, if a transphobic Democrat wins we still gave a chance to convince them they’re wrong. You ain’t getting that chance with a fascist. Why would you give up the chance to advocate for change, just because that change is needed in the first place? That makes fucking no sense.
I hate it here too. Please don’t make it worse than necessary.
