Brianna Wu is a trans person, and I don’t think she views herself as a self hating trans person. So clearly when you speak of “trans people” and the way they view Brianna Wu, you’re speaking about a subset of them, not all of them.
As a Jewish person, I’m very familiar with that phenomenon, especially lately. But Brianna Wu isn’t cozying up to Republicans; she’s very much a Liberal.
I notice you still haven’t provided any examples for any of your claims…
I’m not attacking you, and I’m well aware of the way Brianna is viewed by the activist far left. I don’t consider their views on her accurate, of course.
Unless I’ve made a decision to talk to your list of pre-approved trans people, you mean; be cause Brianna Wu is a trans person, but you seem very upset that I’ve listened to what she has said.
No, they’re the governor of MA, the city council chair of the biggest city in his district, the people who are claiming that they are preparing to primary him in 2026, and his campaign manager who quit.
Yes. Mentioned it before. The Dems keep letting the other side define them and the issues first and then demand that we prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is not so.
Many Dems are surely aware the Right will never stop asking us to throw yet someone else under the proverbial bus to prove we’re not just trying to destroy goodness and righteousness. And that we are not in a position to say that we don’t want anyone who does not exactly 110% fit all our ideals to be running under our banner.
The idea that supporting trans people having the right to gender affirming care and believing that we should treat trans people as members of the gender they identify with in all contexts where different treatment is based on social criteria rather than physical characteristics is “throwing them under the bus” is completely ridiculous. When you frame it that way, you are not being reasonable.
“They” is one named person who didn’t even say anything bad about Moulton.
“I think it’s really important that the party have discussions about a whole bunch of issues. There’s too much conflating of things right now. What I saw in that comment is playing politics with people, and we shouldn’t do that… We should have real conversations and not play politics with people, particularly with young people and people who are vulnerable.” - Maura Healy
So it looks like this is a figment of your imagination.
No, just that you actually have trans friends. That you actually interact in the community. That you’re not just going by what one talking head tells you.
It’s not even hard to see. Her argument is that trans people need to back off fighting for their rights. That some basic things are too far. Would you tolerate it if a Jewish person said that you should accept some level of antisemitism?
She’s an appeaser. She started out as just a transphobe, then had to admit she was trans and then pivoted to supporting TERF talking points.
She does not speak for trans people. Why is it so hard to accept that you’ve been bamboozled?
If you had Democrats saying things like that, why did you use Maura Healey, who didn’t say anything like that, as your example when I asked you for the names of the Democrats who were yelling at him?
If there are Democrats yelling at him, give some examples. Otherwise, I will assume these people are figments of your imagination.
I just don’t think that silencing trans activists was going to deliver this election to the Democrats. They could have even went so far as to propose criminalizing trans participation in sports and that wouldn’t have won it.
There is exactly one name in your posts on this topic. I am responding to your posts. It’s not my responsibility to try to find things that support your argument in the links that you post. If there is something that supports your argument in that article, post it.
A search of Moulton’s name plus a bit from his remark (“getting run over”) to weed out general news about him, yields quite a few hits containing terms such as “backlash,” “Moulton gets calls to resign,” and “canceled.”
Many are paywalled but I’d be surprised if none of them contained Names.
Here’s a non-paywalled example with names of Moulton-critics already mentioned (Maura Healey and Ayanna Pressley), and at least one new one:
In short, there doesn’t seem to be any lack of evidence that Moulton is the target of Democratic criticism, whether we want to quibble over the term “yelled” or not.
