[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would be shameful for the Arlington democrats to endorse a candidate who is unwilling to state, in definitive terms, that she will support trans rights in general, and specifically will protect their rights when it comes to issues of bathrooms and sports.  No vague or wishy-washy half commitments that fail to nail down a definitive position with respect to very specific issues.  This isn’t a big ask if she’s actually a democrat running for school board.[/quote]

That is more than fair. She should have to state her position, and they should align with the Democratic party if she wants its endorsement.

I am thinking back to really weaselly answer she gave on AEM, I think it was about APE's refusal to take an issue on masks back during the winter surge. But now she's not representing APE, she's representing herself and potentially the Dem party, so let's MAKE her state a position.

Tellingly, I see NO support for trans kids rights on her website. That is a big red flag for me. [/quote]

I’m going to flat out ask her next time I see her. I have a non binary child and this matters to me. [/quote]

She tweeted in support of the trans student who spoke at the cnn town hall with youngkin.  Sounds like she supports the rights of non-binary kids. [/quote]

what did she say exactly? [/quote]

I’m so proud of this incredibly brave APS student. APS students deserve to use the bathroom with dignity

Her website also talks about supporting all students and calls out both orientation and identification.

I’m just waiting for some of the crazies to come out and say that their daughters aren’t able to “use the bathroom with dignity” if trans students’ rights are upheld.  Whose “dignity” does Miranda support in that scenario? I don’t know anything about her politics, but nailing down the very specific position matters. Words that can be turned around and used to defend opposing views aren’t helpful.[/quote]

yeah supporting all students actually sounds like Youngkin's position.

Kind of like saying All lives matter[/quote]
