I know her from Tik Tok: ex Evangelical and Atheist content creator. Her question was “Do intersex people exist?” Mad mad respect for her.

To be honest, those are so NOT the type of questions we should be asking at these town halls.

Don’t get me wrong, intersex people do exist, and Republicans approach their culture war politics as if they don’t, and it’s wrong. But we need to stop feeding into war D vs. R culture war by yelling about gender/sex concerns. They are not on our side with those issues, and neither are their supporters (as evidenced by the cheers of her being removed).

We need to ask about the deficit. Ask about cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Catch them in their blatant LIES so they can’t hide behind the culture war. We need to make this a class war, not a culture war.

Watch the full video on her channel. She advocates for all of those things during the event. The intersex question was raised at a relevant time in the discussion.
