   If you think that "The Dems" or "The media" will help our trans friends and family members, I have bad news for you.

   The 60 minutes interview shows (again) that the media business is fundamentally incapable or structurally unwilling to combat transphobia.

   The Biden admin rule on trans sports is probably a bartering chip in another as yet unmentioned "bipartisan win" for the Joe. Usually, he cashes in something critical for Black folk, but this time it's trans kids.

     @mekkaokereke Jon Stewart should do all the interviews.

     @Zammer
     ? I'm curious...

     1) Do you often tell Black folk online not to criticize Democrats? Or do I have the pleasure of being your very first one?

     2) If I'm not your first... Has this condescending "Don't complain! At least they're not the GOP!" line ever worked before? Ever? Even once?

     @mekkaokereke Democrats are the only party protecting trans people. This is not the time to #bothsides human rights.
