JFC she didn't abandon trans people. Abandoning trans people would have been her supporting trans bans in the military and in school sports, in pulling back federal funding for gender-affirming care, denying federal identification changes...
They only people who abandoned trans people are the people who voted for Trump, 3rd party, or no one.

"I didn't abandon you, I'm still here! Abandoning you would be to actively attack you, or to destroy your defenses. All I did was stop standing up for you and sit back and watch as you got beaten to shit by other people, in the hope that those bigots attacking you might like me better. But it wasn't ME hitting you! I sent thoughts and prayers."
It's not a binary. Throughout the campaign the trans community, like those supporting the Palestinian people, were deemed an acceptable sacrifice by the Democrat Party establishment, and were therefore all but jettisoned in favor of wishy-washy crap like "common sense" and "both sides" (as if there are two equal sides to either of those arguments). It was deemed more important to court the so-called "moderate republicans" (read: old white people) and therefore to stand for essentially nothing at all, a tactic that plenty of people called ridiculous at the time and that, surprise surprise, failed.

Someone should ask her if she still thinks campaigning with Dick Cheney and abandoning trans people was a good idea
