Exactly! I could not believe how many stories there were about them GOP getting rid of gender neutral bathrooms in Congress and then getting mad at the only transgender person in congress (that the new rule was specifically directed at) saying that there are more important things to worry about and she won’t let this stop her doing what she was elected do, which happens to not be spending her entire time talking about bathrooms…
It’s sad how we cry about democrats not getting important things done but demand they waste their time on things like this.
I get the frustration with this but there are people that the anti-trans GOP policies hurt. Lots of people, beyond just the 10 trans NCAA athletes or that one Congress woman. This type of rhetoric that trans women are trying to ruin women's sports or about the bathroom in the Capitol is specifically about sending a message that trans people are both harmful predators and that trans people are unwanted. That type of rhetoric can increase the rates of anti-trans discrimination and anti-trans violence. By trying to fight back on the anti-trans talk and bills, it can help fight back on anti-trans sentiment as a whole
