    There is no compromising with transphobes. Sports are just a way to get the foot in the door. It’s not like conservatives actually give a shit about women’s sports. It starts with sports. Next you’re “protecting women’s spaces” by forcing women to use the men’s restroom and locker room. Next you’re denying accurate ID documents to people to “fight gender fraud.”

    I would call this a slippery slope fallacy, but this is the exact same track that both conservatives and liberals have taken. The UK liberal government is one of the most transphobic in the developed world.

    Sorry, I’m not going to vote for a candidate that’s going to support destroying my life, even if they happen to be a Democrat. If Newsom gets the nomination in 2028, I’ll stay home on election day. Sorry. You don’t get to throw minority groups on to a pyre and then whine when they refuse to support you.

    “I just stabbed you, but why aren’t you voting for me???”
