I don't think anybody was seriously suggesting this?

There have been many transphobes that have strongly claimed this.

We all already know that the cunts who own all of that shit are every kind of ist and phobic that you can be.

Nobody is conversationally suggesting this seriously in any circle that I've witnessed. It's fairly ridiculous to even suggest.

Last election cycle, we saw Democratic candidates parroting Republican "boys in girls' sports" hatred in their own ads. Democrats are just fucking ITCHING to throw trans people under the bus.

Then you're pretending not to see any circles that don't confirm your opinion.

Multiple centrist Democratic Representatives have done so. It's in the links you obviously skipped over.
