Trans people make up 1-3% of American society depending on definitions (nonbinary, trans, etc).
That is enough to swing multiple close swing state elections.
Democrats should not nominate an anti-trans Democrat.

If there's one thing that getting yelled at all day for saying that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2028 election has made me more sure of... it's that I will not be voting for Gavin Newsom (or any other politician who pushes anti-trans nonsense) in 2028 or any other year.

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."
SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"
Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.
