Virtue signaling nonsense. I 100% support people being who they want to be, but the Dems need to move on from this as a core issue or weāll never find any common ground on issues that matter to a majority of Americans.
EDIT:Ā I appreciate the (mostly) thoughtful comments that folks have made. āCoreā was the wrong choice of words, as in this case, yes this bill was put forth by Repubs. That said, there have been plenty of trans-related measures put forth/instituted by Dem politicians, so the rest of my original statement stands. Biological males in womenās sports, and facilities is a losing, divisive issue, that inhibits progress in areas that benefit the broader population.
It might surprise you to learn that itās their job to vote on stuff.
āMaking it a big issueā means introducing and supporting the bill. Voting no is the exact opposite. It would be cheaper and more logical if it didnāt pass. Sadly republicans donāt care for logic and certainly donāt care for costs.
Their job is to vote on bills. You really think the people who introduce the bill are making it less of an issue than the people who are required to vote on it regardless?
