I don’t understand why I should be ashamed to support the only candidate who was defending gay and trans rights 20 years before it was politically acceptable.

I don’t understand why people who are ostensibly concerned with these issues would weaponize trans identity in bad faith against the only consistent trans advocate in the race.

I also don’t understand why you, hiding behind anonymity, gets to be the self-appointed spokesperson for trans people, ignoring and erasing trans voices who support Bernie openly under their real names.
