I just want to clarify that trans issues are important and we have had some progress here. I don't mean to diminish in any way the very real issues you and other trans people face. This is an example where the aesthetics of the Democrats actually achieves some good. Conservatives are using trans issues to create division for their own benefit. Red states are rushing to pass legislation on trans issues. Take, for example, Utah's ban on trans athletes. This is apparently an issue so important that it demands legislation even though it affects literally one person [1]. You see closet (well not so much anymore) conservatives like Elon Musk tweeting dumb things about the "far left" [2]. When people complain about the "far left" what they really mean is they don't like trans people and they want them to go away. That's it. There is no "far left" in American politics and the fact that so many have bought into the idea there is shows you just how normative and effective right-wing propaganda has been and continues to be.
