On Trans Rights, Vote for Biden - by Noah Berlatsky

I know there are a lot of issues where people are unhappy with Biden. I’m unhappy with Biden in a lot of respects; I think his continued push for aid to Israel at this point is unconscionable (though Republicans on stage this week made sure to let us know they wanted more violence in Gaza, not less.)

I also think the choice facing us in 2024 on trans rights and trans life is very stark. I hope, given that, people will find a way to vote for Biden in 2024—and to vote for him even if you’re in a red or blue state where it doesn’t seem to make much difference. Republicans need to know that trans hatred, as an issue, is an electoral disaster, which will lead to sweeping defeat. I don’t think this is a moment to equivocate about that, and I am really worried about what happens if we do.
