1 - Calling trans women “Men.” Trans women are women. Calling us “men” gives a green light to the bigots that don’t want trans people to exist.
2 - Platforming people like Charlie Kirk and agreeing with them on trans issues. Charlie Kirk doesn’t believe anything.
3 - Blaming trans people for the election loss, rather than strategic mistakes the Democrats made. This is cowardly and pathetic.
4 - Piling on and using right wing talking points against trans people to try and score points with Conservatives. The message trans people get from this is, “you are dragging us down, and, we will abandon you when it’s convenient. “

I think a debate could happen about trans women in sports, but, it’s generally pointless, given how bad faith people are. Does anyone really think people like Charlie Kirk care about school sports? Agreeing with them to score political points is stupid.
