Instead of Ignoring Trans Rights at DNC, Dems Should’ve Vowed to Protect Them

They have zero interest in protecting trans rights.

Based on what? There is zero basis in your claim.

Based on Republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years and Democrats haven't done shit except talk about it. Democrat version of protecting their rights is telling them they're free to use whatever restroom they want, while ignoring that they don't have access to affordable Health Care or housing and may live in abject poverty while using that preferred restroom.

When did Democrats ever have the power to change any of that? Can't force change without control of Congress which didn't happen. While it seems like a weak consolation, gender neutral bathrooms is progress. Nobody as the unilateral power to make any of those changes.

What do you think could have been done over the last 4 years that would have been real change?
