Why Are Democrats SILENT On Trans Rights?

A listener calls in and asks a simple question: Why are the only people talking about trans issues people on the right? The Democrats are largely silent on the issue and it's time for that to change.

Hi, this is Bee from Queens. Bee I haven't heard from you in a bit. What's on your mind? I know well I wanted to do just a little bit of ranting. Because the way that people like myself have been vilified non-stop by the right is exhausting is a word. Frustrating. Infuriating. Terrifying. All those things. And I was actually this past Sunday one of the performers at a drag brunch fundraiser for Kristen Gonzalez's campaign for the united 59th district. Everybody look her up if you're in the new 59th district. By the way, the way that they're gerrymandering New York is also insane but that's a whole other yeah almost a whole other topic. But I was talking to her at the fundraiser about how frustrated I am that the only people talking about trans issues are people on the right. There it does not seem you guys do a great job and I'm very appreciative of you and other outlets that really you know make an effort to defend us and also just you know get it right and set the record straight when we get called groomers and pedophiles and all those fun things. But I really wish the democrats would just get their [ __ ] together. And because it's not it's not nearly as controversial as Washington would like us to believe. Like most people in our country aren't [ __ ] who want to deny me basic rights. But we've got chuck Schumer sitting in the senate being like well I don't want to do it unless I know I'm going to win. I'm like a girl, get your [ __ ] together. I don't honestly know what they are doing? What are the Democrats doing?
