How should Democrats respond to the GOP’s anti-trans attacks?

Daniel Villarreal October 22, 2024

Republicans have spent tens of millions on transphobic political ads and used anti-trans attack lines during debates. Democrats’ responses have been varied.

Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, recently defended trans people and slammed Republicans for “demonizing” them. Vice President Kamala Harris has responded by saying she would continue to enforce federal laws protecting trans people from discrimination.

However, two congressional candidates have recently released ads responding more negatively to anti-trans attacks against them. Senate candidate Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) released an ad saying, “I don’t want boys playing girls’ sports.” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) also released an ad saying that policies on trans athletes should be made by sports’ governing bodies.

Vote in the poll below this week, and we’ll share the results on Friday.
