If you mean being vocal on that stance I’ll bet you a cookie you are wrong.

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face. I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

~ Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass

That's the opposite stance.
They did actually say that and were obviously not afraid to do so.

Edit: I'll share cookies with you anyway.
