It is incredibly concerning that a large number of Democratic candidates have all suddenly decided that they're going to throw trans people under the bus. It is not only wrong, but also counterproductive. You aren't going to win blabbering about the fairness of women's sports. You will win by preserving the enthusiasm of your base and saying "it's super weird that Republicans are so obsessed with the genitals of children when there are only a handful of trans athletes in the first place". Go on the attack! This is a bullshit issue created for fascist purposes. We don't have to fall for it, or play along. "First they came" was a description, not a joke. Please help us convince these candidates to fire the consultants who are telling them to do this. We can't afford it, morally or practically.
