No Democrat in the House voted for this bill. Ten were not present, the rest voted Nay. I wrote my Democrat House member (who voted Nay) to tell him that I was ashamed of him.
I also wrote my rep ahead of this and was informed he would be voting in whatever direction favored transgender issues on all of the bills being considered. I let him know that I was heartbroken that my party is abandoning women and girls.
May I offer a bit of nuance to your knowledge of Bruce Jenner? Jenner has fathered SIX biological children - two with each of his three wives. He's attracted to women, and being trans-identified doesn't change that. No "transgenderist" would say that he's living a lie in the upside-down clown world of trans. How one identifies can change by the hour.
There are two types of trans-identified men: gay/feminine and straight/masculine, and Jenner is obviously in the masculine category. But I'd caution against making too many blanket assertions and assumptions. I've been in the lesbian and gay community for 50 years, and it's not always possible to tell by looking at a man where he falls on the masculine/feminine spectrum. Some of the most rugged, masculine guys you'd ever want to meet are actually very feminine in personality.
In terms of the movement collapsing under its own weight, I believe it will implode eventually. But change is going to be incremental because the takeover of all our institutions has been very thorough. And once the minds of children have been captured, which already happened, reversing course is going to take a long time. But with enough unflagging activism, as Kara likes to say, if we can be heard, we will win.
Actually, those who study male sexuality for a living such as Ray Blanchard and Anne Lawrence (an MTF himself) confirm that the majority of "MTF transitioners" in Western societies are masculine/heterosexual/autogynephilic. It's somewhere in the region of at least 75%. Furthermore, they are the cohort that is driving contemporary transactivism. There's a book written for a non-academic audience called The Man Who Would Be Queen which goes into this and a pdf of it can be easily found for free with an internet search.
Perfect.
Biden, the hero of the trans agenda. I won't ever vote for him again.

I choose female physicians for a reason. This issue also affects choosing same-sex caregivers.
