This should be a lesson to all other Democrats: You don’t need to abandon trans rights to win elections!

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · Apr 2

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.

This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.

The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.

This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021.

The wave is receding.

BIG result, folks:

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.

Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.

Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

I hope the new Virginia AG, Jay Jones, brings Virginia into the lawsuits challenging Trump’s anti trans policies like PFLAG v Trump!

Interesting that he’s not blaming it on trans people and immigrants

I hope the Virginia legislature gets enough votes to pass a gender affirming care shield law to hopefully help out the clinics that are continuing to provide care and haven’t caved to Trump!

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

This is the ad that Terry Schilling and Republicans spent millions of dollars in Virginia and New Jersey trying to scare voters by painting trans people as mass shooters and terrorists.

This scaremongering demonization campaign just failed spectacularly.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Sep 26

Dems abandoning trans folks has now allowed for a million dollar ad buy for this disgusting ad by American Principles Project in NJ and VA casting trans people as school shooters and violent threats to children.

It was never about fucking sports.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Republicans took the wrong lesson from 2024. Trans issues simply don't affect people much to actually affect elections all that much. So they blew tens of millions on an issue most voters don't care about.

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears has brought the culture war over trans rights to Richmond in the final days of the Virginia gubernatorial race.

What are the “instances where that determination will impact benefit eligibility” that they’re referring to?

Are they intending to make being trans all trans immigrants ineligible just for being trans?

Why did you lay off your wonderful political staffers like Lex McMenamin? Their articles were great!

I’m really sorry! Your coverage was amazing! I really hope another high traffic magazine or news outlet hires you!

Every couple of years the media rediscovers gay Republicans (as if Andrew Sullivan hasn't been writing this same grievance slop for 30 years) but in case you're confused I don't recommend getting the pulse of the queer community from a straight woman in The Wall Street Journal

🚨 1/ SCOOP We all know Pamela Paul is not a good journalist. But in her (poorly argued) WSJ screed on the alleged "growing divide" in LGBTQ circles abt trans rights, she reports ESPECIALLY badly—including abt Jose Arango & his boyfriend who dumped him.

Paul didn't talk to the boyfriend.

I did.

Are they trying to say it was a trans person?🙄

That one guy @tthatoneguyy.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah I know, but it seems like they’ve become even more right wing since Trump took office and are starting to become more overt about it.

The WSJ is a conservative outlet with a history of publishing anti trans content. The fact that they would publish this is sadly not surprising

I’m disappointed but not surprised that the WSJ is platforming Pamela Paul now. They’ve become way more right wing recently.
