The thing to understand is that Democrats will throw basically any group under the bus if they can claim they are helping the majority… and that said majority don’t care too much.
This country hates the existence of trans people. Or, to be more specific, the majority believe “You live your life just don’t tell me about it” while secretly insisting that the only reason Little Jimmy isn’t going to be a pro football player and have CTE for his entire life is because Sally has the option to transition if she/he chooses to.
I don’t think we’ll have ALL of the anti-trans shit in the budget that eventually passes (if one does…). But you can bet that schumer et al will be glad to sign off on it if “most of the deal is good”. Which… arguably IS the will of The People but The People are fucking monsters.
