Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is also the current Democratic Senate candidate for Ohio, found himself in hot water in a past campaign over his response to anti-trans attacks from Republicans, and now he appears to be taking a different approach.

Instead of trying to defend or explain his views on trans rights, Brown released an ad last week slamming Republicans for focusing on trans people at all, when there are so many bigger challenges facing the state.

    There’s a reason a lot of us trans people are moving to blue states. The Democrats aren’t trustworthy but staying in a red state is hell. It still makes a difference so spare the bullshit. Not voting is helping Republicans more than it’s helping trans people.

      If someone is going to support genocide on Palestinians they will also support the genocide of trans people. The LGBTQ community especially cannot rely on the state to protect them and must build that within their communities (of which I am very involved locally to make happen) but I’m sure you understand this well.

        Completely missed the point of what I said. There’s still a massive difference between the Republicans and Democrats. This isn’t about local communities. Don’t both sides this.

            The difference is far less than you make it out to be.

            Did you . . . did you really just tell a trans person with lived experience that they don’t know the political landscape they are physically having to move to escape? Someone paraquat your weed?

            This is the epitome of bad faith argument. Blocked.
