Transform

Please. Please just do it.

The election is over and the democrats lost. In Georgia they got their hats handed to them. So please, just give it up. It didn't work, and frankly you didn't even try. But you just cannot let it go. 

And what is "it?" Well that would "trans girls competing in AFAB sports." The republicans, who rule the gold dome, intend to pass a law keeping AFAB sports free from any Y chromosomes. Democrats, who should be munching on popcorn while watching the show just cannot transform themselves into listeners. Nope, they gotta yack it up. 

We've got an AJC-curated letter lamenting this effort as well as the AJC's public school promoter-in-chief chiming in, in the midst of a diatribe about funding. Both see this effort as a waste of valuable legislative time that could be better spent on, well, damn near anything. Joining the chorus is the reliably leftist seat on the Georgia Gang who pontificated on the very small percentage population known as trans and the vanishingly small number of those that are interested in sports. It was unclear whether this argument was, or was not, in support of the legislation. The fall back position from "doesn't affect many people" was "waste of time-better things to do" as if this is a talking point running through the left. The left have also embraced the "this hasn't happened so we don't need a law" as if democrats have never supported or passed preemptive legislation. It also ignores the fact that it has happened, in Georgia, at the college level.

This issue did not work for them in the recent elections. Apparently the trans turnout did not carry the day. Maybe democrats should embrace their own logic. The trans issues affect very, very few, while infuriating many, many more. Maybe they should be listening to a broader, more mainstream constituency. If they still have one.
