We don’t have to engage in culture wars. If Democrats have any sense at all, they will just let this issue go. No protestations, no outrage. It’s a shame, because trans people will be thrown under the bus. But bottom line, this issue hurt us and we can’t afford the luxury of defending it.

I said this in 2016 at a teaching conference. Do NOT put trans bathrooms on any Dem platform. Get a national agenda together that serves the majority of groups and issues. A .5% segment of the population needs to be ignored on the platforms. However, once in office, make sure basic human rights for trans are supported/guaranteed, without shouting it from the mountaintops. When attendees at my conference labeled my comments anti-trans, I replied,"Your adherence to this issue is giving the GOP ammunition, and Trump will win if you can't see the forest from the trees. See what happens to trans rights when he gets into office."

You are right about 2016. All that talk about trans bathroom rights 24/7 killed us. We should have learned then, but no, we pushed even harder.
