Kara Dansky – Will the Democrats finally start listening to the TERFs?

As a lifelong Democrat, staunch leftist, and radical feminist, I was not happy to see Donald Trump elected once more. But I was not surprised.

Data showed that “the most frequent criticism among swing voters who broke for Trump” was that “Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class.” To me, this came as no shock.

Some of us have been warning the Democrats for years….

Many men are being housed in women’s prisons across the country. There are hundreds of men and boys playing in sports intended for women and girls. And even if there weren’t, how many is too many? Even worse, thousands of children received “gender-affirming care” in the form of hormones or surgeries or both between 2019 and 2023 in the U.S.

The Democrats own this.

President Biden began saying that “transgender discrimination” is the “civil rights issue of our time” in 2012. In 2015, Congressional Democrats introduced the so-called Equality Act, which would redefine “sex” to include the nebulous, sexist, homophobic concept of “gender identity” for all purposes under U.S. civil rights law.

In 2016, President Barack Obama issued a “Dear Colleague” letter to U.S. schools, instructing them to interpret the word sex to include “gender identity” for all Title IX purposes. Democratic support for “trans” has continued apace since then.

Voters last week were not dis- or misinformed about the Democratic Party’s support for “gender identity” over sex. They simply rejected it.
