In addition to being a Zionist, Sarah McBride is a traitor to the trans community. But she's a Democrat, so that should surprise no one.
The people who went with “Sarah McBride will actively collaborate with the destruction of transgender rights” turned out to be right.
Incredible that this is our first representation in congress.

the ability to build some kind of community that'd provide much better, healthier pathways for youth is notoriously difficult when 1. the kids keep getting less and less places to even exist without being policed and 2. any sort of community center itself gets "over my dead body" from the HOA libs

one thing making it extremely difficult to build these kind of connections and community that'd help change this stuff is that kids are increasingly given nowhere to go and nothing to do but "school" and "stay at home" without having the cops called on them. this breeds certain conditions.
