    As a trans person I beg you, do not listen to my sister, Erin. She is not thinking clearly or responsibly about what will happen to us if Democrats lose.

    If you would like to protest on our behalf, please don’t do it by not voting.

    A Republican victory costs the community one seat for one term

    No. Republicans plan to “end” us. Letting them win costs us our very lives.

    Even if that weren’t the case, we are not so selfish as to sacrifice other people, and our planet, just to prove a point.

      I feel like Erin has a point.

      I also feel like the Dems in my state are the infinitely better alternative to the scam artist and big pharma conmen the GOP is putting forward. I’d much rather petition Acton and Brown to support the trans community than march in huge protests that are ultimately ignored by their Republican counterparts that are actively trying to harm and denigrate the trans community.
