Trans voters who instead mobilized for Trump would probably be pathological masochists…

The Republicans will find away to exploit this against the Transgenders

I doubt any trans people were planning to vote for Trump….
It’s demographics Trump might have a chance with that are more important to watch to see how this will go tbh

Project 2025 proposes trans genocide.

Project 2025 plans to reclassify transness under the umbrella of pedophilia – which it wants to authorise the death penalty for. This is in addition to many other proposed ways of going after trans people. It’s a scary time to be trans, and trans people are a tiny minority that can’t win the election alone. If you have trans friends or family, please don’t forget to vote in order to protect their safety.

We all need to mobilize to protect this vulnerable population. That’s what real patriotic Americans do. Stop all anti-woke Republicans and evangelicals from continuing on their hate campaign. Check out all your local school board candidates and make sure that you don’t vote for a Moms for Liberty Nazi. They are everywhere. Vote the rest of the project 2025 Republicans out.

How can she lose now? According to screaming man on Fox News they are the majority of the country since Biden took office.
Dariawasright on
Let’s see, She is offering respect and legal protection. He is offering elimination from society.
Hmmm tough call. A champion or being sent to the wrong prison to be raped and murdered by inmates.
Yeah, that’s the stakes. Anyone who downplays it isn’t paying attention.

I think the stance of the trans community on the Israël Gaza conflict can be a risky topic for Harris, as I think behind the scenes Democrats are still pro Israël which is also important for Western interests in the region as well as the Democratic electorate.

So like 1% of the population who are most likely not going to vote for Trump anyway?

Well, here’s one trans woman that’s proudly supporting a Harris/Walz ticket. The level of relief I felt when Biden dropped out was *immense*. This past year has been exhausting, I just want to live my life and be left alone haha.
I definitely want to get involved with a postcard writing campaign GM to help get out the vote.

I mean duh lol. Trans folks are one of the least likely groups to vote for a Republican for several reasons. I wouldn’t ever consider voting for a candidate who wants to take away my gender affirming care and that’s one of the few policies conservatives have.
