This whole post is way off the mark. Democrats lost the election for "multiple reasons" -- that being said, one of the reasons is this:

A culmination of cancel culture, extremist DEI and woke culture, pronoun nonsense, social constructs not based on science.

I am disgusted by all the cancel culture, especially in regards to JK Rowling and I actually am a bigger fan of hers simply because she continues to stand her ground. Good for her! Recent Article below - I'm so proud of her.

They lost the election because people don't like this - and while too scared to voice it for fear of career damage and society cancelling - they were not scared to vote [or not vote or vote third party] accordingly and that's a big reason Trump won.

Very thoughtful explanation. Many great points. But like so many other accurate dissections, you miss the most important piece if the puzzle: Kamala has been on the national stage for years now, & hasn’t said or done even one thing to indicate she’s smart in any way. She’s a JOKE.

Describing Harris as a joke is a joke within itself. She has more intelligence in her small toe than Trump and Biden do combined. This being said; intelligence and competence are just two of many traits one needs to be presidential. No doubt the Dem Party would have nominated someone else if there had been an open primary and no doubt that someone else would have destroyed Trump. Harris was obviously a better option for POTUS than Trump or Biden but she was subpar as a candidate generally speaking and the last minute switch to her as the nominee was more than she could overcome considering the low IQ of American voters. Live and learn and let's all demand better in 2028!

A POC woman, yeah that was never happening no matter how much core dems would be fine with it.

Michelle Obama would have beaten Trump.

No she wouldn’t

THIS. The pervasiveness of gender changing in school-aged children is disturbing. It is far more than 0.5%

So let their parents deal with. Parents rights and all, right?

So long as it doesn’t involve permanent effects the way puberty blockers and surgery have been shown to have.

So you have a say in what other parents provide their children for their medical care? You know more about other people’s kids than their doctors and therapists do? Wow. You must think very highly of yourself to think you have a say in everyone else’s kids.

Of course. Why do you think we banned things like FGM or require emergency medical treatment even for Christian scientists for minors?

Ok. Good point. I understand that. But I am begging for people to understand as well, and I’ll leave it at this, is to see the humanity in people who are transgender. Children included. All the commentary on here leaves out that these are human beings, and there is going to be real harm that is going to come to them. Equating them to foxes is inhumane and cruel. And when you see that, it is very hard to not dig in and beg for people to see that these are human beings, not some talking point for political gain.

You know who are also human? The woman prisoners punished for reporting the abuse they experienced at the hands of transwomen put in prison with them. But the left has no problems demonizing those women and dehumanizing them. Why don’t you care about the humanity of vulnerable women? Why do you prioritize the humanity of people who are transgender over the humanity of women who suffer because of gender ideology?

Get real.
Nobody's forcing or brainwashing kids to be queer.

Also, prison issues are not a "Dem" thing. Sexual assault by transwomen or of transwomen is a prison incompetence problem. And by the way, in women's prisons, women were raping and sexually assaulting other women long before "trans" was even a thing, yet this is ignored and we pretend "trans" is a sudden new threat. And another fact for you: Prison inmates were getting gender reassignment WHILE TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT so this is also another "Biden did this" and "Biden did that" lie of the right wing.

You’re wrong, no gender reassignments occurred in Trump’s watch in federal prison. There was pending litigation during those years but no surgeries.

That's a lie but you know it.

Also, who cares? I can honestly say I do not care about prisoner surgeries for anything and sure as heck won't be basing my vote for president on it.

It’s nice that in the US, going to jail is the only way to get free health care. Medicare isn’t even free

I'm sorry, but the harsh reality is that to most of the country, trans stuff is regarded as bourgeois degeneracy.

Most of the trans stuff is being pushed by a vocal minority, a part of the progressive wing that only represents less than 10% of Democrats.

The Democrats problem is that they let this small but vocal minority drown out everything else they have to say, and while they are objectively better on policy on the majority of things that would benefit most Americans, they suck at messaging on it.

They are also drowned out by the right wing, which lies about absolutely everything.

It is not a fringe of the party - the Biden administration rewrote Title IX to accommodate transgender ideology. And they are defending it in court.

It wasn’t the Biden admin. This is from SCOTUS.

Flat out wrong. The majority opinion said they weren’t ruling on that issue, only workplace discrimination. It was Biden’s choice to move this to the educational arena and federal judges put up blocks to the changes.

You think “sex discrimination” can mean one thing in Title VII, but another in Title IX of the same law?

You need to accept the fact that you are in a small minority of people that refuse to vote for anything but 80 year old unfit white men that have absolutely no business in the most important and powerful position in the world. Put a legitimate candidate in front of the American people the right way and they'll choose that candidate over elderly unfit candidates every day, all day regardless of the gender or race of the legitimate candidate.

Do you know who else are human beings? Women. We have hopes and dreams and fears. And when the trans community decided to steamroll us, gaslight us, push us aside, and demand the use of "pregnant people" and "front hole," our humanity was threatened.

You notice how there is no male equivalent to TERF, right? Ask yourself why.

Because TERF is a term created and defined by trans exclusionary radical feminists and the term TERF includes men and women. Jesus Christ…

Give me one example of a man being called a TERF, and I will believe you.

Check the year and who was president in this article and next time do your own research.

https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/federal-court-orders-first-gender-affirming-surgery-trans-prisoner-rcna25377

That same article said of the almost 5000 transgender prisoners in our system, 15 were housed according to their lived identity. 15. That’s it. It also said 35% of transgender prisoners reported being sexually assaulted. Where’s all the outrage people have for prisoners?

I’m with PP. I don’t care if they get the surgeries while in prison. We provide other surgeries for prisoners. What happened to “adults can do what they want just stay away from kids?”

If you want to end costs to prisons maybe reduce actual prisoners and end the death penalty. That’s the most expensive cost to prisons.

The death penalty doesn't have to be expensive. Some states have an express lane.

Prisons would be less crowded if we legalized drugs.

I am a woman and I feel none of this from the trans community.

Well then what do you want?

- Leave our children alone
- No more forced pronoun bullshit
- Trust science - men cannot become women
- Understand biology - zero males in female spaces and get your hands off our Title IX
- Stop trying to appropriate the word and meaning of what it is to be a woman.
- Stop demanding that we participate and affirm whatever you have going on.
- And for the love of god, stop trying to make CIS happen. I am not a subcategory of my sex.

I agree with some of this but men can be women if they choose and vice versa. That's their personal choice and none of your business.

Also, what's with the pronoun concern? That's a fading trend and why should you care if someone prefers she or he? Address people however you feel is appropriate and it's they can choose if or when to respond.

You're lumping in invalid concerns about personal choices people make that don't infringe on the rights of others with valid concerns about situations where the rights of many are comprised by the personal choices of few.

That’s not happening. Social media sure but so is your body my choice. Can’t control that. Teachers can’t even give a kid an aspirin without 50 forms being signed, but ads ran saying kids are having sex changes at school. That’s outrageous that those ads ran. Blatant lies all the way around. But whatever. You won. Nothing will actually change here because this wasn’t happening to begin with. So back to the status quo of this actually still really not happening.

Students at schools are allowed to be transgender at school and the school doesn’t inform the parents.

Like the Harris ads that encouraged wives to lie to their husbands about who they voted for. Democrats are big on lying to your family members for their sakes.

Schools aren’t operating on kids and changing their gender; they are encouraging kids to lie to their parents about changing gender and helping them deceive their parents. Sick.

np Well some people on here admitted they voted for Trump and yet lied to friends that they didn't. If you are so proud than you shouldn't be ashamed, right?
