Transphobia Isn’t Winning Votes. But It Is Making Our Lives Much Worse.
One memo from one group may not seem that important. But APP has spent years convincing Republican campaigns and donors about the potency of anti-transgender attacks against Democrats. This is despite the fact that transphobia-themed attacks have failed to seal the deal in competitive statewide and House races in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2025. Their apparent success in 2024 was more likely a fluke, deployed against a weakened candidate on a shortened timeframe with a deflated base trying to carry the baggage of another president whose popularity was sunk by the rising cost of living.

We really need the people to rise up against this and not take it lying down. Just because they say it’s ok, doesn’t mean it is. Shame anyone being transphobic.

I’m sure that they’d vote for us if they know that we’re only half-Hitler. You’re a necessary sacrifice to get the mythical Centrist Voter TM
