Nice to see a Republican on the right side of a trans issue.  We need to see more such actions.

A gentleman who has a conscience and some good sense.

Not all republicans are signing on to the hate on lies of the far right.  Hopefully in time these rational humans will regain control of their party.

There’s been some good bi-partisan work in Congress this past week. Hopefully, this wave of hate is settling down.

...I've only ever voted Republican...but many Republicans instantly accuse me of being a liberal snowflake based on my gender lol. ...Thinking of voting Libertarian in 2024. I've always been more of a Libertarian than a Republican, but voting Libertarian always sounded like it would be throwing my vote away...and if MOST Libertarians feel that way, then no wonder the party seems so small...I can't just have the attitude of, "well when Libertarians start voting Libertarian, I'll start voting Libertarian too." Progress will never be made that way. You'll just end up with a bunch of Republican politicians who are secretly Libertarians lol.

Fortunately I live in one of the Red States which also voted against getting rid of transgender healthcare protections under Medicaid. I probably wouldn't be transitioning now if we hadn't.

But yeah...I like to think most people are innately good, and want to do the right thing. Red, blue, gold; doesn't matter.

I got called a “libtard” just yesterday. And all I said was “Bill Gates has no involvement with creating the vaccine or with the companies that did.”

People are just too touchy these days lol; seems more and more folks are under the impression we all have to pick a side or something and not be two minds about something, smh.
