Advocacy groups throughout the conservative commentary ecosystem have pushed to get these leagues on record about transgender athlete participation, without success.
Now, these groups are moving beyond just trying to get athlete eligibility questions on record. XX-XY Athletics, the sports apparel group that has used Cunningham’s comments as a way get its brand in front of cameras at WNBA games, is suing Colorado in court saying its state anti-discrimination law prevents the company from marketing its apparel using trans athletes’ deadnames and misgendering them deliberately. The company is at least partially bankrolled by a prominent conservative couple in Colorado with deep ties in Republican politics. The company’s face and CEO, Jennifer Sey, a Bay Area resident, was a national champion gymnast before she gained a following online arguing against COVID school closures and vaccine mandates.

You are making a huge mistake thinking that pro trans politicians are losing. Dems lost in 2024 without ever voicing a position on trans rights specifically.
MAGA talked about it so much, that the dems left it alone and we saw what happened. After that, in by-elections plenty dems who took a strong stance came out ahead.
Also, fuck you for responding to someone talking about their rights being taken away with a ‘Lol’ response.
Lol man so did the trans not vote for Dems because they were quiet. In that case fuck the trans if they don’t know who their natural allies are. Holy shit, so if Dems don’t pander to trans they won’t get their votes? No wonder trump won
You’re saying Trump’s victory was dependent on the small percentage of voters who are trans and not the massive percentage of the population that routinely doesn’t vote?
Oh, I see, you’re one of those. Ta-ta, windbag…
trans make up such a small portion of the population, i seriously doubt they have significant voice in the party to make it viable for it to be part of a dem presidency in fact it might even is a death sentence for a campaign, because of how pervasive it is,go ahead and act antitrans. and not ever Dem voter is pro-trans, the ones that lean more to the right are usually very dismissive of them.
Article 2 of the Convention: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
That’s the reality of denying essential medical care to trans inmates (thus mutilating their bodies and encouraging suicides) and forcing them into men’s prisons (putting them in physical danger of being r*ped or murdered or both), but all you have to say to that is “idk lol whatever buddy” because you do not give a shit if my sisters are tortured to death in federal r*pe dungeons.
Lol because it’s going to get worse if the Dems to win big in the mid term! Trans peeps should know who their allies are, IT’S NOT THE REPUBLICANS!
I don’t think someone telling me to keep quiet is my ally, actually. If trans voices are silenced and Democrats win, they will take this to mean that they should continue the genocidal policies of the Republicans. The only way I live is if I don’t let them silence me.
You’re advocating for our allies to be “no one”.
Huh? So 2024: trans people were complaining that the Democrats didn’t pander to them so that’s why trump won. I’m saying you would rather let your enemy win instead of someone that will not persecute you (they will not pander to you though)
Trans people don’t need to be visible in the democratic party for you to vote for Democrats
What the fuck are you talking about?
Who will you vote for in November?
Not your stupid ass. That’s for sure.
Almost certainly whoever the not republican is, unless they also want to explicitly fuck over people like me.
