    Jessie McGrath, 63, a lifelong Republican who is trans, grew up around guns on farms in Colorado and Nebraska. She decided to vote for Harris when Republicans started attacking gender-affirming care and “wanting to basically outlaw my ability to exist”. She ended up being a delegate at the Democratic national convention.

    “Government getting involved in making healthcare decisions is something that I never thought I would see the Republican party doing,” she said.

    What the actual…how are people this ignorant.

      She was 100% on board with them regulating reproductive care because it has never personally affected her as a biological male.

      She only has an issue now that her favorite team turned on her after telling her for the last 30 years that she’s next.

        Calling trans women biological males is transphobic hate speech. Not allowed here.

          It’s entirely relevant to the conversation. She couldn’t get pregnant, so she didn’t give a shit that women’s reproductive rights were on the table until the leopard ate her face personally. I’m as left as they come, but the virtue signaling you just did is why so many people get so turned off by so much rhetoric of our political side.
