About half of voters overall said that support for transgender rights in government and society has gone too far, according to VoteCast, while about one-quarter said support has been about right and about 2 in 10 said support has not gone far enough. The vast majority around 8 in 10 Trump voters said that support for transgender rights has gone too far, while Harris voters were more divided. --- Hey now. <cite>BlueTigerLion posted [p:982820267] in About half...

I dont mean this directly at you, but this is why I hate cis people leading the conversation on trans people. Trans people are already currently, and have historically been, involved in sex work in order to survive. Transitioning is prohibitively expensive, even with good insurance which most of us dont have, and the little protections we have are so soft-handed theyre virtually unenforceable. We have been targeted by a historic amount of transphobic legislation being introduced every single year and have never received anything more than token acknowledgement from the Democrats.

thronedfire2 11/11/24 6:08:04 PM #35:	every single NFL game I watched so far this year featured the same "Kamala is going to use your tax dollars to give illegal immigrants free sex changes in prison. Kamala is for 'they/them', Trump is for you!" ad in pretty much every commercial break. A ton of people saw that shit. It doesn't matter if it's not true. It doesn't matter that illegal immigrant transgender prisoners were probably less than .1% of the prison population. The repubs knew how to campaign on people's fear and insecurities. Dems tried to point out how bad Trump was and would be again, but unfortunately most of their messages required knowledge of what's actually reality.

action52 11/11/24 11:47:01 PM #46:	Here's the thing. Most of the country does think trans people have a right to exist. They just don't want it to be normalized. If you decide to transition and live in an area that's LGBTQ friendly, they're fine with that. But if you want to be a first grade teacher or something, that is absolutely not okay. They also are ignorant about trans issues so they judge issues by their gut (which is influenced by growing up in a transphobic society). They just think what seems obvious based on that and don't want to question it. A trans woman is a man who got his penis chopped off. That's what transitioning means, right? Obviously we can't be letting kids do that. Trabd girls want to to play sports. That's the same thing as being a boy and playing girls' sports, right? Obviously we can't allow that, it's unfair. Trans people need counseling and medical care. That's frivolous surgery and therapy they use to pretend to be a gender they're not, right? Obviously they should have to pay for all of that themselves. I think that the vast majority is like this, or worse. And they don't want to have to change their views. They resent even being made to think about it. So they are much more willing to ally with extreme anti trans people than the ones standing up for their rights. --- man - noun.
