> Left strategy has been terrible for years. That's one of the consequences of the Woke movement. Far too much political capital was expended on niche issues. Gays are 3% of the US population. Trans are 0.3% of the US population. Can't win an election catering to those groups.
This isn't the left's strategy. It's the right's. The right targets these small groups because they know we won't let them be attacked. We will push back. It makes it very easy to paint the left as trying to cater to LGBT folk, but that's nonsense that only sells to those completely out of the loop. Which is unfortunately most of the US electorate. And it's not about it being a strategy. It's about being an ally against bigotry. It takes a really fucked up person to abandon millions of people to increased discrimination because you think it'll help your polling with middle America.
What about bigotry against women? That is the actual effect of pro-trans policy.
The right capitalized on that because the left was too blinded by ideology to see the harm caused to women.
More nonsense. Trans women being allowed to exist in peace does not harm women and is in no way bigotry.
Yet these males are in women's prisons, women's shelters, women's sports, in social spaces intended for lesbians, and more. They're attempting to redefine "woman" everywhere they can, so they can impose themselves everywhere that was supposed to be female-only. They're getting law and policy rewritten to enforce this.
That's not existing in peace is it, it's an unwelcome assertion of male dominance over women.
