They didn't lose votes for supporting trans rights, because they didn't actually support trans rights. Republicans pretended they did, but they didn't actually support trans rights. Currently Democrats are suffering the negative side of supporting trans rights, but without the positives that come with actually sticking up for marginalized groups in a meaningful way.

Na, the Democratic Party supports trans rights. The GOP used it against them and you are too.
