Trans rights were not at the forefront of why people voted against the Republicans, I doubt it was even a tertiary concern. Aside from Abdul El-Sayed and Peggy Flanagan , I can’t think of any notable pro-trans (not including of a handful of trans people themselves in minor positions) reps who were elected?
And look at the exit poll results, 53% still want to take our rights away, combined with 22% who think all the loses trans people have suffered so far are about the right amount.
What I wanted was a firm rejection of transphobia, what was given was a soft acceptance.
But… People still voted against harming trans people? And plenty of pro trans representatives were elected?
Like yeah some transphobes did too but like what more do you want
