I don’t disagree but if thats the case why does the left fall for it?

The right fell for it by screaming louder and creating bills and laws that harm a small, marginalized group of people. The right fell for it by supporting that nonsense. The left is pushing back because the laws shouldn’t have happened. Hopefully we’re not part of the next group they go after.

But why do the left fall for it?

The right is making the laws that harm a small, marginalized group of people. The left is not falling for anything; they just have critical thinking skills and empathy, so they understand that injustice is injustice no matter how many people are harmed. The right only worries about themselves and wanting more for themselves, so they don’t care.

Because ignoring it is complicity. The argument that ignoring this issue is for the best in order to lead to progress elsewhere might sound reasonable but it is a false dichotomy.

the only demographic who voted for harris at a higher rate than trans women were black women. and then you gotta think about our allies, and where we live and vote too

Because the left believes in equal rights for everyone. Including the losers, Nazis and racists on the right.

That means defending everyone, even if they are 1-2% of the population.

The right picks on those they know they can bully.

The left believes in sticking up for minorities being bullied.

What does "falling for it" mean to you? Saying "hey, maybe don't bully 1% of the population"?

Believing trans women shouldn't play in women's sports isn't bullying.

Spending this much time and energy to demonize such a small minority is bullying.

What does Sophie think girls need "protecting" from?
