    You write this one, OP?

    one hopes that the Democratic party would have an adequate response.

    Idk what kind of ridiculous delusion it would take to expect fucking anything of the dems at this point. Okay article for cis libs I suppose.

      I wrote it, yeah. The intended audience is baby leftists and liberals who say they support trans people but sit on their hands and don't act on it. Queers and cishets alike.

        hexbear-chapochat insert joke about hexbear liberalism here

        It sincerely does blow me away though that even radlibs still keep up the narrative about dems being pro queer.

          lol, i'm new to lemmy- idk anything about the subculture here. I just clicked the first instance that showed up. And yeah, it's quite frustrating! Dems only pretend to support us because they think it might hurt their electoral chances now that the overton window has shifted enough. And that needle shifted because of grassroots action, not electoralism.

            I'm cis myself but all the trans people here characterize it as one of the safest and most welcoming spaces for trans people online, and I'm proud to be part of it. Welcome.
