The idea that Democrats are the ones who are pushing trans issues is one of the biggest strawmen in American politics. As they've been doing since the Civil Rights Act was passed, Republicans purposely use trans people as a wedge issue to distract stupid citizens (some of them on this forum) from the fact that our work productivity has continued to increase but we are getting screwed on wages, healthcare, housing, education and many other issues because of wealth concentration, business interests, and the disproportionate effect that lobbyists have on pushing government policy.
You can say that Democrats have also succumbed to these same interests, and you would be right, but at least their purported policy goals would benefit ordinary/working class people if implemented.
Outside of a few faux populists (Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, Steve Bannon, etc.), Republicans don't even pretend to care about any policies that would benefit ordinary people. Republicans, not progressives, are the ones who are constantly talking about trans people playing sports and pronouns because the issue polls well for them and they can distract simpleton/bigots from the fact that they are actively trying to make the lives of ordinary people worse so they can benefit the wealthy.
So here we are talking about trans people while Trump/Elon destroy government and social benefits in order to pass another unpaid for tax cut that will disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
