Democratic leaders have backed away from supporting Rep. Sarah McBride's transgender-first policies amid mounting evidence that transgenderism is Russian roulette for candidates in battleground states.
“It’s one thing to stand up against this and another thing to fight the fascists, but we [Democratic] Allies are capitulating like this and won't even fight,” advocate Alejandra Caraballo said November 20 Blue Sky, Progressive social media safe space. Carabello added:
I'm not going to lie, today was one of the hardest days I've had since coming out. But I haven't given up. I am determined to work even harder.
The controversy began when Rep. Nancy Mace (RS.C.) told House leaders that Ms. McBride of Deleware, a man who claims to be a “transgender woman,” should be placed in a women's-only seat in Congress. It started with a call for the establishment of rules to exclude people from private spaces. .
The Democratic Party first tried distract media allies From the core question, what are the boundaries between men and women? — and attempted to portray McBride as victim of bullying.
But Mace continued his barrage of popular tweets, going from loudly claiming that Democrats should be free to cross sexual boundaries by declaring themselves “transgender.” retreated.
This withdrawal forced McBride to agree not to invade spaces reserved for women.
McBride's withdrawal is likely temporary and tactical. “They're going to do something like that to elevate their status from me, and my job is to not give them the reaction they want,” McBride told the podcaster in October. . “I cannot do what is right by the trans community.” [in the long run] If I couldn't be the best legislator for the state of Delaware,” McBride said.
But the collapse in Democratic support came after a presidential election in which President Donald Trump capitalized on Democratic support for transgenderism, painting them as out-of-the-box extremists. “Kamala [Harris] It's for them/them. President Trump is on your side.” This is what the heavily funded advertisement said..
“Democratic Party [are] After a demoralizing and decisive defeat, they are now steering towards rebuilding. [so] “The question of how the party deals with transgender rights has emerged as an issue for the coming years.” new york times reported The article states:
Weeks before Election Day, Kamala Harris' aides say campaign polls show Donald J. Trump's attacks on her support for transgender rights are alienating swing voters. I was doing it.
…
But none [Harris counter] Four former Harris campaign aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that when the ad was tested in focus groups, the message had a strong impact on voters.
After intense internal debate, the campaign shelved the ad. Instead, it is Anodyne TV spot The video showed the vice president criticizing “negative advertising” without mentioning Trump's attacks on transgender people.
One of President Trump's transgender ads “ranked as one of the Trump campaign's most effective 30-second spots, according to an analysis by Future Forward, a super PAC led by Harris.” new york times reported “After viewers saw it, the race shifted in favor by 2.7 percentage points.”
In many opinion polls, sexually moved Transgender ideology is persistent and increasingly unpopular outside establishment media, progressive social media havens, and academic institutions.
The McBride controversy also helped the ideologically cautious Republican Party grapple with the complex issue of transgenderism, which forces women to conform to the personal wishes of men who wish to be treated as women.
Its extraordinary demand is hidden behind many pseudo-medical claims about “gender” through confusing wording. media cheerleading. For example, establishment media framed the debate around the “transgender ban” rather than the “protection of women.”
This demand is also hidden behind claims of victimhood. threatyouth weakness, suicide, non-existent rights, plus appeals for sympathy from sexually aggressive men.
But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) spoke in clear terms. resolved the dispute November 20th:
All single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms in the Capitol and House Office Buildings, are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.
“Women should be given their own space,” he added.
Losing the election is a big problem for the Democratic Party.
Transgenderism has become a powerful carrot for a progressive base eager to champion new minorities such as “trans kids.” This claim echoes their 2018 claims against migrants and “children in cages” at the Mexico-U.S. border.
Moreover, the transgender agenda does not conflict with their donors, investors and wealthy liberals.
If Democrats step up their game and bring transgender allies back into the fight for transgenderism, it will be easier for future Republican candidates to win over more swing voters. These Republican gains are also likely to include many non-ideological women in key suburbs.
But if Democrats abandon the fight against transgender people after the 2024 disaster, they will have to promote new causes and new victims that progressives support. These causes could be unpopular, such as Mr. Biden's extractive immigration policies, and could further divide the Democratic Party's makeup, which is made up of wealthy donors and a variety of diverse groups.
Democrats hope the U.S. Supreme Court will create new legal rights for sexual immigrants, but their hopes were dashed by the election and recent court decisions.
But Republicans could make this balancing act by Democrats even more difficult. For example, Mace authored a bill that would force Democrats to vote yes or no on whether to ban men from women's private spaces. Inside all federal buildings.
