The answer I'd *like* to hear from a Dem candidate when asked about sports and trans folks: "You know, there are the same number of dragons dying of fentanyl overdose as there are trans women trying to play professional sports. Can you ask a real question?"

The trans issue is a losing one for Democrats. Too many Americans are conservative and fear change. Look at how gays have been eventually accepted into society compared to how they were looked at tin the 1960's.

A nonissue to you and to me, but there are a lot of Americans who have a problem with the issue. They are not going away.

Ok, but those people were never going to vote democrat in the first place. You're essentially saying that human rights are a losing issue for democrats. Which is silly. That's a silly thing to say. Because people like having human rights.

Most voters are now independents, and I suspect that a lot of them are uncomfortable with allowing trans to compete in sports where they have an unfair physical advantage. It's not about human rights, but for many it's about fairness in athletics and the related sports scholarships involved.
