Talarico, under fire for seemingly walking back some of his support for trans rights, recently promised to “fight for trans kids” and stressed that his pro-trans positions “haven’t changed.”
I mean, he literally said he wants a return to the framework that existed before the anti-trans craze, where participation was decided at the local level and on a case-by-case basis. I get that you're skeptical given everything that's been going on with Dems, but this is something he's actually been pretty consistent in saying.
I’m tired of waffling and equivocation from Dems including Talarico. Whatever he may or may not do or believe, I no longer trust him or many Dems. Dems are becoming the Labour Party right before our eyes and I’m not there for it. Between trans people, the larger LGBTQIA+ community, our allies, families and friends Dems are at risk of alienating voters they desperately need.
I hear you! I take some of these betrayals very personally. Some of these politicians are people to whom I have made rather generous campaign contributions and have supported with my time as a volunteer. A couple of them know me by name. I talked with one of them for at least 15 minutes at a donor reception about the dire straits the trans community is in, and he shook my hand and told me he would always have the backs of trans people. Then within a few months, he cast a few votes against us. There is only so much I can take, psychologically, before I lose the sort of trust in Democratic candidates that would motivate me to support them, beyond perhaps a vote.
Aleksandra, I agree with you that voting Talarico over Paxton is a no-brainer choice. However, I really worry that Talarico has taken a pretty firm stance on banning "transgender surgeries" for minors. And he's not walked that back or provided any clarifications. My concern is that he has cemented himself into a position, and that breaking from that position would come at a political cost - being tarred as a dreaded "flip-flopper."
Sadly, he has weakened his credibility with ALL voters. Again, he's not anywhere near the evil arch villain Ken Paxton's league. But he's made a pretty awful unforced error, and it will haunt him. The best thing he can do - for us and for himself - is to clarify his positions and then to say that this is a niche issue that impacts only a small minority of the population - that he's got much bigger fish to fry. This freaky obsession with children's genital bits is mostly a MAGA concern.
"He’ll ‘Always’ ‘Fight for Trans Kids’" Unless a 14 year girl just wants play softball or volleyball with her fiends. Christians Suck.

I would hope he would always fight for all kids, do you want him to bully them like grown MAGA adults do.
Why would you not support any kids?
are you dumb? or just centristically stupid? 😂
what do dat even mean, fighting for kids who are gender diverse/trans? i still dont trust him
