Oh what a surprise, the guy who was real concerned about the Uyghur Genocide is a transphobe. Can’t believe these clowns keep rooking leftists, who should know better, into voting for them. Death to liberals

I say this as someone who knocked doors for Ralph Nader as a teenager in 2004 and got yelled at by people in a bipartisan way

    What is it with libs who larp as progressives turning out to be transphobes? Colin Allred running against Cruz pulled the same shit about sports. Which is funny because my Dem friends are super pushing and wanting him to win even though they recently grilled a youth sports director on his stance on trans sports and tried throwing him under the bus over a milquetoast response that was basically him stating he “doesn’t care as long as it’s not hurting anyone.”

      As a black trans person especially, I’m baffled that this seems shocking to you, but that’s because I got a lot of personal experience to vouch for this. I see racism and transphobia as a core part of libs, even the ones who pretend to be slightly to the left of socdems. I’ve gotten both “subtle” racism and transphobia from them, and in scratched instances, some have taken off the mask.
