It's not virtue signaling. The language the other person used is what the republicans constantly say when they are describing trans women because they don't believe trans women are women, and it's used to take away the rights of trans people, and it's working.

There are plenty of ways to say that she isn't cis and doesn't have a uterus while being respectful -- like I just did.

I'm as left as they come, but the virtue signaling you just did is why so many people get so turned off by so much rhetoric of our political side.

I think you want the trans community and its allies to not confront you on dangerous rhetoric then, while they constantly have to fight people on the left and right to keep from having their rights stripped away.

Being an ally means being open to learning when we make mistakes, and the language the other person used wasn't appropriate. I hope you and others here can understand why.

Jessie McGrath, 63, a lifelong Republican who is trans, grew up around guns on farms in Colorado and Nebraska. She decided to vote for Harris when Republicans started attacking gender-affirming care and “wanting to basically outlaw my ability to exist”. She ended up being a delegate at the Democratic national convention.

“Government getting involved in making healthcare decisions is something that I never thought I would see the Republican party doing,” she said.

What the actual...how are people this ignorant.

My first thought was this, and when I opened the thread your reply was the first response listed as well.

Same, working fine.
