Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa faced significant backlash this week after suggesting that the party's humiliating defeat was due to an obsession with gender ideology. Apparently unable to weather the storm, Hinojosa announced his resignation on Friday.
Hinojosa has led the Texas Democratic Party for 12 years.
said Texas Newsroom reported on Wednesday that President Trump's pledge to initiate mass deportations and limit legal immigration resonated with beleaguered voters across the state, and across the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. It said it highlighted President Trump's success in the county.
“Why do you think Trump did so well with Hispanics? Because Hispanics live on the border,” Hinojosa said. “We're talking about thousands of people coming into the United States and the government. [under Joe Biden] There is a perception that nothing can be done to solve it. ”
“You have a choice as a party.”

network exit poll In a survey conducted by Edison Research, 14% of respondents said immigration was the most important issue motivating them to vote. 90% of those who sent similar signals voted for Trump. Of the 26% of respondents who identified as Hispanic, 55% said they voted for Trump.
Concerns about the border crisis certainly helped turn once-blue areas on the map red, but Democrats' desperation to pander to cross-dressers and gender ideologues is alienating some voters. Mr. Hinojosa recognized that this was highly likely.
“You have a choice as a political party,” the former speaker said. “For example, you can support transgender rights in every category where the issue is raised, and you can understand that there are things that we have gone too far that a large part of the population does not support. You can do it too.”

It was well known before the election that the Democratic Party's views on LGBT activities and transvestism were outside the mainstream of public opinion.
According to A Manhattan Institute poll conducted in late June found that 74% of all voters, 76% of independents, 95% of Republicans, and 37% of Democrats believe that cross-dressing athletes are the same as other people of the same sex. He answered that he should play on a sports team with other members.
“It's time to do the right thing.”
When asked whether schools should be required to notify parents if their child uses the wrong pronouns at school, 67% of likely voters said yes.
An overwhelming 69% of likely voters said children who identify as “transgender” should not undergo sex reassignment treatment until they are 18 years old. When asked about puberty-blocking sterilization, 76% of respondents said that minors under the age of 10 cannot undergo gender reassignment treatment. Of the 18 people, “I am not old enough to consent to puberty block treatment.'' 82% of respondents said minors were not old enough to consent to sex-reassignment mutilation.
Hinojosa appears to have been right, but for the Texas Democratic Party, he was wrong.

noticed “Hey @HinojosaTX, hate is not a Texas value and should not be a @texasdemocrats value. Putting the blame on transgender people is disgusting and demonstrative at worst. At best, that's a disingenuous excuse.”
Hinojosa soon found herself caught up in a fight session on social media, backpedaling to no avail.
“Today, I would like to offer my sincere apologies to those I hurt with my comments. I recognize the pain and frustration my words have caused.”
said Hinojosa. “Frustrated by the Republican lies that fueled hatred against the trans community, I was unable to communicate my thoughts carefully and clearly.”
Friday, Hinojosa
announced he had resigned.
“In the coming days and weeks, Democratic leaders across the country will reevaluate what's best for our party and create the next generation of leaders to survive the next four years of the Trump presidency and take back seats.” It is imperative that we accept the “ballot'','' Hinojosa wrote. “That is why today I am announcing that I will step down from the SDEC Spring Meeting in March 2025 and pass the torch to the next generation. This was a difficult decision, but it was the best one.” for our party. ”
