    You don’t have to fuck yourself. But you might be asked to hold your nose and vote even if you can’t compete on the sports team you want. I’m actually unclear when that became a human right. I am far more concerned for your physical safety under another Trump administration.

      It never, ever stops there. And if you view the participation of trans people in public life as a nice thing that we get as a treat when times are good, then yeah, you are kind of telling us to go fuck ourselves.

      It should make you stop and think when LGBT leaders and organizations within California are condemning his statements.

      I am far more concerned for your physical safety under another Trump administration.

      The fact you don’t connect pushing trans people out of public life with the exact transphobia that endangers us is why you need to listen to us instead of deciding you know best and lecturing us about it.

        Condemn the statements, surely. Make trans sports an overriding litmus test for any candidate? No.
