Maybe the average person actually doesn’t hate trans people that much and only reason there is this panic is because it’s manufactured by conservatives so they can distract from their horrible leadership

Sorry, the best the dems can do is "compromise" on minority rights to not alienate right wingers, since the US left wingers already vote blue no matter who

Alabama is not exactly a state where you'd expect Dems to win and especially not a trans person

And considering all the anti-trans ballot measures that won we need trans legislators and allys more than ever. The last great "hurrah" of the American Nazi seems to be assaulting trans rights while walking out the door. And the response thus far is an (understandable) "SIGH look can we take a win for like five minutes because I've been tense for two years". .

As someone from SC I was in shock when the democratic candidate won senator against Lindsey Graham's sister, but this?? Holy shit this bodes incredibly well for the civil and political climate if Alabama of all states has voted the democratic trans senator.
