10. Astute observation

As one of the most passionate advocates for LGTBQ rights here, I think it was not so much about trans rights as it was about framing trans rights as Democrat's number 1, 2, and 3 priority. Trans rights are important and need champions, but more than champions what they needed was Democrats to win, without that there can be no trans rights and Trump and his band are looking to erase trans people from public life at this very moment.

Harris and Walz weren't going to shy away from being champions for LGTBQ people, but thwy got painted as not caring about other issues because of that. It was unfortunate.
